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.

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

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.

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 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 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!

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. :)
