A few days ago, Christina Kontova baptized her daughter, Ida, and revealed to her social media followers the origin of her name.
The little girl, who hails from Uganda, was named Aida Abigail, and it will be recalled that the party and the christening ceremony were delayed by a week as the godmother, Sissy Christidou, fell ill with coronavirus.
However, many are those who wondered about Aida's name as it is not a Christian name. Christina Kontova explained via a Q&A she did on her Instagram profile that: "I have endless questions about the name. From what I understand, naming is done by the state and the church gives the blessing. However, the priest had no problem and Aida already came from Uganda registered with these names."
In another question about her 4-year-old daughter's name, she explained: "Abigail is her first name, the one she had when we met and Aida is a family name (of Johnny Kalimeris' grandmother who was English). We use both names, but mainly Aida."
