Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT? Hawaiian Names
in reply to a message by Cait
I will put how I would pronouce them in brackets
Haukea (how-KAY-ah) - not very feminine sounding imo
Iekika (eye-KEE-kah) - ditto above
Iolana (yo-LAH-nah) - I don't like names that begin with a yo, it's like you're saying "Yo, Lana!"
Kai - great name, I like it because it is the name of the boy from the Snow Queen
Kala (KAH-lah) - I don't really like any K names :)
Kalani (kah-LAH-nee) - ditto
Kalea (kah-LAY-ah) - tritto
Lani (LAH-nee) - seems very nicknamey to me
Leilani (lay-LAH-nee) - pretty but very stereotype
Maile (my-LEE) - looks pretty but sounds trendy (the lee part)
Malie (MAH-lee) - beautiful!
Nalani (nah-LAH-nee) - seems a bit mish mash imo
Noelani (noe-LAH-nee) - stereotype, again
The only Hawai'ian names I would consider using are Malia, Malie, Anuhea (ah-new-AY-uh) and Kai :)
