Very cool. I know a 30ish year old Vida. Not sure of spelling but pronounced veeda.

I think it's from sanskrit and means divine knowledge or wisdom. I met a Vida once who told me this. Different but as some have mentioned, maybe think about the cultural background the child will be raised in.

Matthew Mcconaughey and Camilla Alves daughter is called Vida (pronounced Vee-da), very popular in South America so not totally unheard of! Beautiful name, if you like it go with it! x

I like it a lot.

Oh yes I like it!

Reminds me of that fab black and white film with Joan Crawford in it 'Mildred Pierce' - there was a Veda in that iirc.

I like it! Also like Vada and Mhairi (pronounced Vari in Scotland - although not always)

I knew one, but it was pronounced vye-da.
