[Opinions] Re: Hawaiian Names
I love Hawaiian names as well. Although I don't have any particular ties to Hawaii, besides great vacations, I would still use a Hawaiian name for my child.Some of the names I really like (that are easier to pronounce) are:
* Lani - my moms name.
* Kai (b) / Kailani (g)
* Kalea
* Keoni (b)(kee oh nee)
* Kiana
* Maile
* Malana
* Malia
* Noelani (pro: no eh lah nee)
* Nohea (g) - I went to school w/ a girl by this name. I believe it means "beauty" (pro: no hay uh)
