8. Luz Milagros Veron
Analia Bouter and her husband, Fabian Veron, had chosen the name Lucia Abigail for their imminent arrival. Shortly after the baby girl was born, the Buenos Aires couple decided instead to name her Luz Milagros Veron. The reason for the change? The name translates as Miracle Light in English – the circumstances of Luz Milagros’ birth were certainly miraculous. Doctors had found no signs of life when she was born three months premature and made the heartbreaking decision to declare her stillborn. That she is a normal, happy and healthy infant today is because her parents insisted on saying goodbye to her in person. Luz Milagros had spent 12 hours inside a sealed coffin in the freezing-cold morgue, but let out a whimper and moved slightly as the coffin lid was opened. The tot had survived against all the odds.
