[Opinions] Maori names
Kia Ora! It's Maori language week and I came across a tool that's been put together to translate names into the Maori version.

Aww, mine comes back as Kiritīni. Kiri is one of my favourite names, so that makes me really happy :)
Mine came out as Ema, so it’s not that different.
What fun! Mine is Tina. Also typed in a few of my loved ones' names, too. Caroline translates to Kararaina. How pretty is that? The pronunciation looks pretty straightforward. Am I right about that?

I haven't heard this one said aloud. Simple pronunciation would be "kah-rah-RY-nah" but I think the "raina" part would be more rah-EE-nah with the "rah-EE" spoken together. Hope that makes sense!
Mine is Pamaria.

My name wasn’t there :(
Ihipera Erena “Era”
My name didn't change too much: Erica is "Irika" in Maori, according to the site.
This is so cool!
My name, FN and MN, is Kiritina Ihipera. : )
