I’ve been looking at Hawaiian versions of English names – and was wondering if anyone in Hawaii - or nearby - could tell me if these names are used relatively often? Just searching on Google suggests they are – but it’s always hard to tell if you don’t live there. Some random (lovely) girl’s names attached below.

Loretta -Loleka
Louise - Luika
Rachel - Leikela
Ruth –Luka (and I know most of this board consider this solely a boy’s name – but it’s also a girl’s name :)
Karen - Kalena
Maria - Malia
Marianne - Meleana
Marylou – Melelu
Melissa – Melika

Thanks for any responses – EV.
