Elasticsearch : search for an array of string values:

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have an index in elasticsearch where the body contains an array of a field with an array of values. For example :

{
"took": 0,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
},
"hits": {
    "total": 3,
    "max_score": 1,
    "hits": [
    {
        "_index": "families",
        "_type": "family",
        "_id": "o8qxd2EB9CizMt-k15mv",
        "_score": 1,
        "_source": {
        "names": [
            "Jefferson Erickson",
            "Bailee Miller",
            "Ahmed Bray"
        ]
        }
    },
    {
        "_index": "families",
        "_type": "family",
        "_id": "osqxd2EB9CizMt-kfZlJ",
        "_score": 1,
        "_source": {
        "names": [
            "Nia Walsh",
            "Jefferson Erickson",
            "Darryl Stark"
        ]
        }
    },
    {
        "_index": "families",
        "_type": "family",
        "_id": "pMrEd2EB9CizMt-kq5m-",
        "_score": 1,
        "_source": {
        "names": [
            "lia shelton",
            "joanna shaffer",
            "mathias little"
        ]
        }
    }
    ]
}
}

Now I need a search query in which I can search for documents from an array of values, something like this:

GET /families/_search
{
"query" : {
    "bool" : {
    "filter" : {
        "bool" : {
        "should" : [
            {"match_phrase" : {"names" : ["ahmed bray", "nia walsh"]}}
        ]
        }
    }
    }
}
}

And it should return the 2 documents that contain these names like this:

{
"took": 0,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
},
"hits": {
    "total": 2,
    "max_score": 0,
    "hits": [
    {
        "_index": "families",
        "_type": "family",
        "_id": "o8qxd2EB9CizMt-k15mv",
        "_score": 0,
        "_source": {
        "names": [
            "Jefferson Erickson",
            "Bailee Miller",
            "Ahmed Bray"
        ]
        }
    },
    {
        "_index": "families",
        "_type": "family",
        "_id": "osqxd2EB9CizMt-kfZlJ",
        "_score": 0,
        "_source": {
        "names": [
            "Nia Walsh",
            "Jefferson Erickson",
            "Darryl Stark"
        ]
        }
    }
    ]
}
}

How do i make a query like this? I tried using the "terms" keyword but "terms" only allows me to search from an array on single words like this:
{"terms" : {"names" : ["bray", "nia"]}}

But I need to look using the full names like this:
{"names" : ["ahmed bray", "nia walsh"]}}
