The point we are trying to make is that you can't change the spelling without changing the pronunciation and then meaning. This name would be spelled "Kelani", which isn't even grammatically correct and would mean "the heaven".

This name is really ugly and fake-looking. I'd take real Hawaiian names over this pseudo-ethnic garbage any day.
The pronunciation Kehlani uses would seem to make this closer to Kalani than to Kailani, so I wonder if Kalani is really more likely the name this is derived from. [noted -ed]
