Well, Kahlúa is delicious. Does the accent make it classier? I enjoy including it. I'd call a Kahlua "Lua".
Alcohol names are really something else. Some are neat, I'll admit it. The words themselves are interesting. I find Alizé to be particularly pretty, actually. And Mead is kind of satisfying. Toddy would be cute. But it has such a connotation to it! I am so curious about what the rationale is behind using alcohol names. Maybe I just don't "get" it, because I've never been a drinker. I've never been drunk. Is it really THAT great, that you would name a child after the thing that put you in that state? Or is it a class thing? A kind of aspiration magic? Did parents in the 60s think "oh, rich people like brandy, and I want my kids to be as classy as a rich person - I'll name them Brandy". Or nowadays - do people see their favourite rapper drinking Hennessy so they are like "that's what I want for my child: to be as successful as a rapper who drinks Hennessy"? But instead of naming the kid after the rapper they choose Hennessy because it's like....a symbol. Of success. I'm probably overthinking this, aren't I.
So ok, siblings for Kahlua:
Would I continue the alcohol theme? No, probably not. But I would continue the "symbol" theme.
What about something like.... Tiki. Or Luau. Or Riviera Maya.

It's too tied to the liquor. If it wasn't an alcoholic drink, then maybe.

Very trashy. Even if it weren't the name of a liquor, I'd dislike it because of its appearance and sounds.

The only one I ever met was a little white fluffy dog.
It's got a cheap vibe to it, like Tequila. Also sounds like a sound effect.

Part of my family is from Hawaii, where one of the staple dishes is the Kalua pig. For me, it's absolutely not a name.
The alcohol drink adds to the tackiness.

It sounds like a cocktail. Isn't there an alcohol brand with a similar name?
My guess is that Kahlua is Hawaiian? I love Hawaiian names but this sounds too much like a drink.
I like Noelani a lot.
