But it's not just Vida whose name is rooted in a special meaning. “[All of our children's names] have all been chosen after another member of our family,” she said. “It's a kind of tribute, so, for instance, Noah is named after his grandfather, and Elías shares his name with my brother and Michael's granddad."
