[Opinions] I love the name, but... (m)

I've never been able to figure out where this name came from, if it's even legal or just a very modern name, like Nevaeh. I can't deny that I love it, though. I would also pronounce it a-QUINN-a. It also reminds me of Thomas von Aquin, the philosopher and theologist, and I love his surname.
To me, Kaia Aquinnah is a bit too hard, it doesn't really flow... Kira Aquinnah isn't much better, either, though...

I googled it and Michael J Fox has a daughter named Aquinnah Kathleen. He said in an interview that it's Native American (which tribe?) and means "beautiful colors of the sea". Not sure if it is true at all but "aqua" means "water" so....hmmm don't know ;)

According to this Wiki, Aquinnah is Wampanoag for "land under the hill."
