Why did my parents decide to name me Thomas?

# data[].attributes.body
I was originally supposed to be named after my dad, but once I was born my mom decided that she would rather name me after her favorite teddy bear instead.

She only wanted me to be called 'Tommy' because that was her bears name but my dad said otherwise which is why they settled on Thomas

PS. My mom has never once referred to me as Tommy
