LONDON (Reuters) - Spice Girl Victoria Adams gave birth to a baby boy named Brooklyn Joseph on Thursday, the father, soccer star David Beckham, said. "We are both overjoyed," the Manchester United and England footballer told reporters. Adams, known as Posh Spice, became the second of the four-girl band to have a child after Scary Spice, Melanie Brown, had a daughter last month. A Spice Girls spokeswoman said the child was named Brooklyn because the couple were in New York when they learned Adams was pregnant. Joseph is Beckham`s middle name and his grandfather`s name. Beckham was pilloried by the British tabloid press last June for getting sent off during a World Cup match against Argentina, effectively ending England`s chances in the tournament. The Spice Girls have topped the charts in 40 countries, their first album selling nearly 20 million copies.
