Alana - ah-LAH-nah
Aloha - ah-LOH-hah
Kalea - kah-LAY-ah
Kailani - kai-LAH-nee (kai rhymes with eye)
Kaleigh - not a Hawaiian name with this spelling, as you've learned. If it was written with Hawaiian spelling, it would probably be Keili and pronounced KAY-lee
Lahela - lah-HAY-lah
Lanai - lah-NAI (NAI rhymes with eye)
Leilani - lay-LAH-nee
Malia - mah-LEE-ah (my middle name, after my mum who's Hawaiian)
Nalani - nah-LAH-nee
Noelani - noh-eh-LAH-nee
