Help[Opinions] How do I pronounce these names? Please help!
Here are some names I found on the internet today, mostly Hawaiian and African/Arabian. How would you pronounce the names (also emphasizing if possible) - or how do you think they are most likely pronounced? I wouldn't want to give my child a name everyone pronounces differently.
So here's the list and thanks in advance for any help from you :):
Moana
Kalani
Luana
Keona
Malia
Shila
Aila
Eshe
Nia
Naila
Kiana
Lani
Leilani
Malie
Nalani
Moema
Leola
Thank you!
