I like it, but I think Leilani is prettier. Kalani has more spunk I guess, where as Leilani is more frilly.
Anyway, I would probably go with something more plain or simple like you have done. Maybe Kalani Joy, Kalani Grace, Kalani Jade.

I like it, but as a light-skinned "whitino" jewish man I would never use a Hawaiian name due to cultural appropriation.

But how is that cultural appropriation? Do you think people should not use na my wa that originated in countries other than their own?

it depends. When white americans are the ones who colonised Hawai'i, using the names of the natives seems in poor taste.
