These children have names that are way too similar AND way too different. Two of them are Hawaiian and two of them are not. The two Hawaiian ones sound almost exactly the same, but one of them is actually Hawaiian and the other is a translation of an English name. If I had been the parents, I would have named the children Noelani, Leilani, Maile, and Keanu. (Leilani and Maile are the twins; both names are actually Hawaiian and have to do with flowers, and you could call them Mai and Lei if you wanted to. Actually, all of the names are actually Hawaiian.)
