We've been asked a few times where our kids' names came from, so here is the explanation:
Oliver: A couple of years before we had Oli, I dreamt we adopted a baby boy from Korea and his name was Oliver. We both liked the name, but haven't adopted any kids.
Gael: I didn't think we needed to have a middle name for Oli, but Jorge did and we liked Gael, and the only person we know with that name is the actor Gael Garcia Bernal.
Elinor: The eldest Dashwood sister in Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility".
Veronica: The spunky detective from the defunct teen noir TV show Veronica Mars.

Interesting to note: Oliver and Elinor have five letters in common and for Eli, the V is in her second name.
