My mom loved Tabatha, but my dad was not a fan at all. The other choice that was nixed was Gabriela, there was a (now legendary) soap opera in Brazil playing at the time called Gabriela with a little song/rhyme that went along with the title: ''Gabriela, cravo e canela!'', means ''Gabriela, clover and cinnamon!'', dad feared I was going to be tormented with that... lol
So the finalists were Thamíris, Tâmara, Thainá and Thaís. They couldn't decide so they wrote the four names on little pieces of paper and let me choose, I grabbed Thaís. :wave:
