Naila Moreira: Hi, my name is Naila Moreira. Something interesting about my name is that my parents are from Brazil, and my last name is Portuguese, Moreira, but my first name is Lebanese. And the reason I have a Lebanese first name is that my parents, after they married, moved to São Paulo in Brazil, where there is a very large Lebanese population, and they loved the Lebanese names. So they gave me a Lebanese name. And I asked a Lebanese friend of mine about my name, and he told me that it means one who gets what she wants. And I started laughing and he said, "In a good way, in a good way."
