What's Your Hawaiian Name?

[Jaine Perotti]

When I was searching for some hawaiian bling in honor of this thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30332&page=1&pp=15) I came across this. (http://www.hwn.net/hwnname_frame.html) Sooo... what's your hawaiian name??

Mine is Kini :)

Oh, and another thing, if it can't find your name, try this site (http://www.alohafriends.com/names.html) to search for a better translation... if you feel like scrolling through lots of names, that is.

[Erin Rapacki]

"elina"


that sounds like a pretty name :)

[Greg McCoy]

"Keleko" :)

Perhaps this should be in the Chit-Chat forum, though? ;)

[Matt Attallah]

Maheli

Meh - it's ok. I like my original name better though...(Maher)

[Michelle 236]

Mine's Mikala, which sounds really pretty, but to be perfectly honest, I'd much rather be called Michizelle. :cool:

[Bcahn836]

Palakale

Sounds weird

[Jaine Perotti]

yes you are right.... this may sound stupid, but how can i move this thread to chit-chat? or does a moderator have to do it?

to keep on topic, i found my middle name: Elizabeth --> Elikapeka

Kini Elikapeka ... sounds kindof wierd

[David Kelly]

I am actually 1/4 Hawaiian with my grandmaw being from the island of Molokai.


Anyways, my Hawaiian name is Kawika :]

[MissInformation]

Heiki. Hmmm... not much better than what I have... but at least people wouldn't have reason to say "Heidi Heidi Ho" to me anymore...

Heidi... er... Heiki

[rocknthehawk]

"Hawaiian bling" ...thats possibly the funniest thing i've heard all week....


Mine is Aalona

[Mini-D67]

Dave Lavery? :ahh:

[tkwetzel]

My first name is Kaile

My middle name is hawai'ian to begin with, so no translation is needed (unless you want to know what it is in English): Kuokoa

My brother (Wetzel) will probably also post to this...cuase his middle name is also hawai'ian. Our parents gave us hawai'ian middle names because we were both born in Honolulu.

[Jay H 237]

My real first name of "Jason" translates to "Lakona", while "Jay" translates to "Kei".

Thanks Jaine, now I have something to replace (temporarily) "Teams' MacGyver" with. :)

[Lisa Perez]

Lika Lina :)

thats a good idea ... think i will put mine in my custom user title too... :)

[Katie Reynolds]

Katie Lynn >> Keke Lina

[Jaine Perotti]

I think we should add an element of competition to this.... who has the most amount of letters in their Hawaiian first name?

So far the longest is 8 letters, and that goes to Brad Cahn ---> Palakale

mine has only 4 ... :(

[JamizzleHavok13]

My name's Kimi Li [English: Jamie Lee] :cool:
I'm nowhere near qualifying for the contest, but I DO like my name.

[Corey Balint]

Koli-meh not a big fan-i think ill stick with my long other list of names.

[Mike Ciance]

Mine's Mikala, which sounds really pretty, but to be perfectly honest, I'd much rather be called Michizelle. :cool:Mine is also "Mikala!" Now i feel pretty too! :ahh:

[Courtneyb1023]

courtney = Kolekena

[Amanda Morrison]

hrmn. Mine came up 'JVN'. ?!

Alright, alright, just kidding. I'm really Amanaka Malia.
Actually, when I was a little kid, my grandpa told me my Hawaiian name was Adnama. Took me a long time to figure out that was my name backwards. :)

[Kyle Love]

Kyle translates to Kaila, sounds a bit girlish to me...

[Jaine Perotti]

Were counting the letters in your hawaiian first name, silly! :)

so far it's Kilikikina Kini and Palikekeke Loke in the lead with 10 letters.

[Kiwi_queen]

I found Kilikina Loke -> Kristina Rose (they didn't have my middle name so I used my confirmation name, which I do use as a second middle name)

sir dave, i think you should make a name tag and wear it with your hawaiian shirt at the competition. "it would be so pimp." :)

[VGMasterShadow]

Mikala is my Hawaiian name.

[Joe Matt]

Iokepa

Ok, that's just wierd.

[Ashley Weed]

Hey, this is awesome....

First, my Hawaiian name is Akeli! That's cool!

Also, we have a full Tiki Lounge in our Living Room and Kitchen. We are always looking for things to add to it. We have an area with all of the "Lucky 7's" names, but I'm going to change it immediately.

Thanks for sharing the link!,
Akeli, Kelekolio, Leikela, Kale, Monika, Keoni, Kiliki, and Kaniela
:)

[Jack Jones]

OTOH: Much better pick-up line question.

[Fireworks 234]

Mine's either loe, Koe, or lokepa

[dlavery]

Kawika Pailona

I did more research, and found out that it stands for "Macadamia Shovedupnose" or something similar...

[Elgin Clock]

:sigh:

Here's a shocker. My first and last names are both.... Not available..

Ooh.. My middle name.. whoop dee doo dah.

I am (Elgin) Kale (Clock).

edit: That's 14 letters.. Do I win now? :rolleyes:

I did more research, and found out that it stands for "Macadamia Shovedupnose" or something similar...AHAHAHHAHAHAHA :D

[MikeDubreuil]

Mikala Paulo [Dubreuil],
19 letters, I think I've got it :D

[CourtneyB]

[Jaine Perotti]

Mikala Paulo [Dubreuil],
19 letters, I think I've got it

Well, the contest was originally supposed to be just your first name in hawaiian....
I think we should add an element of competition to this.... who has the most amount of letters in their Hawaiian first name?

but since this seems to be confusing some people then we might as well change it to being your first and middle name...but lets exclude last names just in case people don't want to share their last names online. And for those who originally only posted your first names, feel free to add your middle names.

In that case, then it's still Kilikikina Kini and Palikekeke Loke in the lead with 14 letters.

oh wait i forgot one other....

dave lavery for the longest literal translation at 19 letters.... jk :D

[Jeff Rodriguez]

First Middle huh?
I think I can win this:
Jeffrey Lawrence, translates to:
Iepelei Lauleneke
16 letters

http://www.alohafriends.com/names.html

I don't think my last name will translate to Hawaiian.

[MissInformation]

Heiki Ana Pokeli

Now, in English my name translates to "Noble Grace Of the Woods". In Hawaiian, it's more like "Falls from tree while gathering coconuts."

[greencactus3]

uhh.. noone with my name has been to hawaii? lol
cant find it.

[Joshua May]

Iokua Mei, not too different from my real name.

[looneylin]

Alikia
that's sounds pink. lol :D

[Alex Salomonsky]

alika

[Jillian B.]

O fun... Jillian Laura translates to Kila LaLa. sounds menacing, huh? I sound like I'm going to kill pink fuzzy things.

I think I prefer what my whole name (Jillian Laura Bejtlich) means: Joyful - Victorious - Beam of Light, much more to Kila LaLa. :D
