It's pretty. I like that it means "bandage". Like a girl named this will heal you.

Thaïs is my favorite name. I know a girl named Thaïs who is stunning and beautiful in and out.

Even though English doesn't normally use "accent marks," I prefer the spelling Thaïs to Thais because it signals that the A and I vowels are pronounced separately; and with an uncommon (outside of Brazil and France) name like Thaïs / Thais it's not immediately obvious. That said, Thaïs is beautiful.

A word θαΐς (thaïs) meaning "bandage" certainly existed in ancient Greek: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/resolveform?type=start&lookup=qai&lang=greek (in English). Interestingly, Pavlos' old website mentions that the name Thaïs is derived from θεὰ (thea) meaning "goddess": http://web.archive.org/web/20120324121243/http://www.etymologica.com/page11.htm (in English).
Also, you might want to consider removing saint Thaïs of Alexandria from the description of this entry, because she was a Copt whose original name was Ⲧⲁⲏⲥⲉ. It was hellenized to Ταησις (Taesis, which is Taisis in modern Greek) but due to the similarities with the authentic Greek name Θαΐς (Thaïs), the two names were often confused with each other and the saint eventually became known as Thaïs (at least in the English-speaking world).
