I asked my mom her opinion on this last night! haha.

How ironic- I've been thinking of this so much lately too! But my opinion is biased- because my name is Collette (Colette) and I'm not French- I don't even have French relatives. My mom just liked the name. Which is good, because I know she and my family wouldn't care if I gave my child a name that had obvious origins. And America is a bit of a buffet itself. Go out in public- you see all types of people right? You should, considering so many cultures immigrated here and still do. So even if you're not from hawaii, Leilani can walk around with confidence even though she's not that culture since so many people have names from everywhere here in America do to their relatives or friends, the media, etc. So I believe it's perfectly fine and you can do whatever you want with it.

That's a really positive attitude to have, I admire it. =) It must be true in some places.

Thanks haha. It's been true for where I've lived in the U.S.; if people ask my name and I tell them it and they ask further about it and mention how I'm not French though they don't care or detest it. But I do agree that some crossing over in separatist social scenes isn't happening and probably won't ever.
