I can't wait until his parents tell him it was actually the film that he was named after. From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.Meet Seven and his mom, Stephenie Barber.
Seven was born Oct. 26, 2004, between Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's fourth and fifth consecutive victories of his rookie season. Although Seven's parents -- who live in Indiana, Pa. -- are often asked whether they named their son after Mr. Roethlisberger, they were actually inspired by another Western Pennsylvania institution: After driving by an 84 Lumber sign, they "decided to go with something numerical," said Mrs. Barber.
When Seven watched his first game, however, the connection to Mr. Roethlisberger was instant. "We realized it was Seven and Seven," said his mother. "It became too cool."

It was also Seven. I had to look it up because I missed the last couple of seasons with the new kid (always the death knell of a series).
