Re: Question about Kehlani
in reply to a message by simran
Probably sort of in-between Kay-Lani and Keh-lani.
Thing is, it's not an actual genuine Hawaiian name; the eh combo doesn't appear in the Hawaiian language. So this is probably someone's attempt to sound Hawaiian, but I believe there are actual Hawaiian names Kailani (long i sound) and Kalani (ah sound) and probably Keilani, which would be the kay sound.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
