Assuming the father sees as much of her, and holds her, as much as you do, there shouldnt be a problem of unfamiliarity. It is true that babies can be freaked out by unfamiliar people (As a bearded man with glasses i've had many babies burst into tears a the first sight of me, much to the amusement of my wife,) but a father, even if he looks like cat stevens with roy orbison glasses shouldn't scare a child who is familiar with him.
It might be a case of scent, if you both have strong and different perfumes/odours. Children are very sensitive to quite basic stimuli. 7 months is pretty young to be picking up on subtle cues, but if there is tension and anger, including raised voices, a child wil notice this. They can be scared by loud sounds. If your partner has a very deep or loud voice this might frighten a young child, but she should grow used to it.
I am assuming it is nothing obvious, on which you could easily pick up, yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world..
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
