[Opinions] Re: Ohana
in reply to a message by jemis
I see people mispronouncing it as Oh-hannah.
I did think of the Lilo & Stitch quote immediately after seeing the name, so people will have that association with it, not the association you have. If you are okay with that, people always saying, "oh, like on Lilo & Stitch!" then I wouldn't say not to use it.
Also, imagine visiting Hawaii and having everyone look at her funny thinking, "Her name is Family?" I suppose its no wierder than people naming their kids Strength, Dignity, Hope and those other letterblock sayings people put up around their house.
