Help[Opinions] What are your favorite Hawaiian names?
and could you comment on mine, please? I will comment on yours as well. Try to comment on as many names as you can (also the ones the other users will post in response).
Do you think it's silly to give a Hawaiian name to a pale, blonde or blue eyed child, for example? Or to use one even though you don't have a special connection (relatives or something) in Hawaii? I've been there and loved it but don't have relatives there or anything. I do love many Hawaiian names, though. I guess many people use Hebrew names or French names without having any connection to the country/culture so I think it would be fine but I wonder what other people's opinions are.
My favorites:
Kailani (ky-LAH-nee)
Leilani
Lani
Kalea
Kalani
Luana
Alani
Kaia
I'm very picky with boys names and only like four in total at the moment and I haven't found a Hawaiian one I like except for Keanu which I guess is pretty much unusable because it's so strongly associated with the actor.
Oh and if you know anything about Hawaiian names, do you know whether some of them are dated or seen as old fashioned? I saw that Lani was only in the top 100 in the 60s and 70s.
Does anyone know whether the name Keilani (f) exists? I know Kailani and Leilani are used but never heard of Keilani. I like the sound.
