new celebribaby name.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have had their second child: a daughter named Vida. Their first kid is a boy, Levi.

I really like Levi. I've never really thought about Vida, but it sounds pretty. WDYT?

Oh, and just for a point of reference, Matthew McConaughey's brother named his son Miller Lyte, so either Matthew has much better taste or Camila is vetoing all his options.

I really don't like Vida. All I can remember is "Giselle Bundchen's dog" and I don't even follow celebrity gossip! Seriously, sounds like a dog's name to me. It certainly isn't a common name for people is Brazil.

Camila is indeed Brazilian. Which, I don't know if you know because you said you don't follow gossip, but it makes all the more sense why she chose it.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Yup, and well it's literally the word for Life so to me it's actually very nice.

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

Exactly! She is Brazilian, which I knew and everything. That's why it strikes me as odd, because I've seen Vida being used more on dogs (especially after Giselle Bundchen) than on little girls.

Vida is nice and goes well with Levi, I think.

I actually know a portion of the McConaughey family and Rooster's choice to name his son Miller Lyte is made fun of just as much within the family as it is in the general public. Poor kid.

I thought that too; Levi and Vida are both short, simple, but really nice names, so I thought it made a good sibset.

Well, that makes me happy, lol. I'm glad that somebody is telling this guy that Miller Lyte is just not a good choice for a child, because I don't think I could deal with that one slipping by.

People sort of ignore his middle name, thankfully. When everyone heard the announcement, they all stared at each other like, "What do we do?" LOL

I like it, Vida and Levi are a bit matchy but I've never minded a 'bit' matchy and well the name Vida means life so that's cute and Levi is just a cute name. They are also names that kind of age well, Vida more than Levi but Levi is a nice legit name.

I love it! in fact, I love it so much that i just texted my husband to suggest adding it to our list. lol

[sunshinefleur.livejournal.com]

wow, I love this. and it makes a really nice sibset. both names are short and they go together very nicely.

[soph-posh.livejournal.com]

I like it. It's not all that common without being made up or stupid.

I like Vida a lot, especially in this context. I first heard the name in the context of a fairytale told by a storyteller. I can't remember the story now but I remember telling and retelling it to my friends. I can't find anything about it online though. It's a really great story!

I don't like Vida. Levi...I don't think I like this one, either. =/
Lol, Miller Lyte?!

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I like it!

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I had a grandmother named Vida Pearl. (pron. vee-duh) It was never my favorite name, but it is ok.

And wow. Miller Lyte?? Seriously? I'm speechless. All I can assume is that the parents were dead drunk when they gave that baby such a ridiculous name!

i dont get vida. its harsh and witchy sounding. i dont know, i dont like it.

i LOVE levi though.

[milmari.livejournal.com]

witchy? haha. i don't like it either, and honestly don't get it. i mean, i understand that it's a new life, and vida means life, but still, horrible!

[milmari.livejournal.com]

hate it. i'm brazilian, too, and i just don't get it. it means "life", it's just as tacky to name your kid that as it is to name your kid destiny hope in most places.

i love levi, though. :)
