Help[Opinions] Hawaii can be cut a little slack...
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
Since a lot of the names we'd usually call weirdare legit Hawaiian names used by Hawaiian parents. But they're not totally off the hook...
Breezy: This always sounds like a room freshener or a fabric softener.
Kanoe: Good thing it's in Hawaii, or I'd think it was Canoe.
Titan: Clash of? Also, tighten or tigh 'n' jokes await him in high school.
Starla: Hell Yeah! Somebody has my name!
Rhyett: Sounds or looks like vomiting. Which is only slightly worse than it being kre8yv for Riot.
Reyn: That really looks incomplete without an A on the end.
Blaze: Blaze Starr the stripper comes to mind. (Her real name was Fanny Belle Felming, which is no better.) Or a horse.
Arahoe: That's not Hawaiian, because that language has no r in it. Looks like Arapahoe but got chopped up some.
Humble: It worked to save Wilbur's bacon, but a kid named Humble is likely to to end up a very conceited, smarmy kind of kid. Also, if she's a girl, jokes about "eating Humble pie" will not be funny.
Castle; We've run through every royal title we can dig up, now we move on to the common nouns. What's next? Throne?
Rayce: Race? Or racy?
Kholt: Trendoids, meet the Kre8yvs, with ugly results.
Steele: Can't help but thinking of this as a porn star's name.
Chasity: railer Trash Name Hall of Shame.
Shadow: My stepfather's black cat is named this. I don't see why a person would use this. There was Shadoe Stevens, who took over AT40 for Casey Kasem, but he gave that to himself, said it was an Indian word.
Applee: Not quite an Apple, but Applee?
Rocky: Said it a million and one times, this is a dog's name, or a name that has to be earned.
Pryde: Goes before a Phall.
Kansas: Of all the states to name after, when you live in beautiful Hawaii.
Abcde: I don't want to hear anything about how this is a legit Arabic name. Bull... It's just dumb.
Oshean: I'm tempted to say this "oh Sean."
Honey: Makes me sick to even hear it asa nn.
Cyth: I had a cyth removed from my thplee.
Brixx: And his brother Leggo.
Rapshody: Rhapsody is bad enough, I really never want to hear Bohemian Rhapsody ever again. I hope this was a typo on your part. But I'm not optimistic.
Misty-Blue: Stripper name. Or nail polish, or wall paint.
Destiny Shalet: The Swiss Ski Chalet is your Destiny! Hop aboard!
Rich-Lynn: Future Welfare Cheat of America.
Suddn: You had nine months to be ready for this kid, and you're still so stunned you forgot the e.
Shyne: Ug lee!
Hudson-Knight: this is not a computer game, people!
Patience Cream: lmao! Some kind of ice cream that takes forever to moften to eat it? A face lotion you have to rub in for a very long time?
Raynebow: Joins Misty-Blue on Nature Girls Nite at the Lusty Kitty.
Sailine: Part of a boat? Or did they misread the label on their contact-lens solution?
Cupidaris: Some sick pun about Cupid's Arrow? Or when I first saw it, my first thought was cuspidor.
Secrett-Lee: Deodorant? Never mind, it ain't a secret no more, people.
Rieway: The drunk's version of "right away."
Achillies: Big Mouth Burgers, at Achillies near you!
The thing that struck me most is how obsessed Hawaiians seem to be with other cities. That's sad. Surely any Hawaiian place-name is prettier than London or Houston.

Thank you! I saw Oshean, and I was thinking "'Oh-sheen?' What are they even trying for here?" Then I read your post and sounded out "Oh Sean" in my mind and realized they meant Ocean!
