Comments for MOANA:

Moana was a Polynesian sea god, also. There seems to be a distinct connection between Maori and the Polynesian languages.

I have heard this name pronounced MO-ahn-ah/MO-ah-nah & MWA-nah (in New Zealand).

In the film "Pan's Labyrinth", the alternate name of the heroine, Ofelia, was Moanna. As princess of the underworld, her name was Moanna, and as the reincarnation of Moanna, her name was Ofelia. Moanna was pronounced MWAH-nuh. This is an interesting name, though I'm not sure I love it.

Hate this name. Sounds like a prostitute who gives phone sex, or an air-headed spoiled brat who whines. I guess MO-aw-nuh is ok as a character but for a real person is just ewww!
