[Opinions] Kalea
WDYTOT name Kalea? I'm beginning to like it and I much prefer it to the other spellings. Do you think it's better than what seem to be "trendy" spellings?

Kalea is pretty. Are you pronouncing it KAL-ee-ah or ka-LEE-ah?

Kalea isn't pronounced like KAY-lee. Here's a site that explains how it would be pronounced: http://www.alohafriendsluau.com/names.html.That said, I think it'd be good for a Hawaiian girl. But for a non-Hawaiian girl, it could lead to confusion.

I didn't know it was Hawaiian. I know several girls named Kalea prn like Kaylee. I was thinking about it because Lea is a family name and I don't want to use it as a middle name. Thanks for the information!

I don't care for it. I think it looks jumbled and trendy to me.

I'm not a huge fan of most Hawaiian names, not sure why. I do like Malia because I knew a little girl by that name and it grew on me. Does Kalea rhyme with Malia (Mah-LEE-ah) or is it more like KAY-lee-ah or Kay-LEE-ah? I do prefer the Kalea spelling, just because it's the "traditional" spelling.
