I have a bunch of favorites: Leilani, Noelani, Lanimele, Alealani, Lilinoe, Ualani, Mâhealani (this one is really cool; I love the ancient origins), Manaoio, etc.A lot of Hawaiian names just have beautiful meanings.

Hawaiian names have actually been on my mind since binge-watching the series of Hawaii Five-0 (The 2010 remake :D) I like a good list of these particular names. I think alot of them sound quite nice and beautifully exotic. Ones I personally really like: (And yes, alot of them have the same ending).Alani
Lani
Leilani
Nalani
Malia (From the series as well)
Kalea (Ka-lay-uh)A few from the series that I thought were interesting to share: (Ones that have stuck with me)Kamekona (Kam-e-ko-na)
Kaleo (Ka-lay-o)
Nahele (Neh-heh-lee)
More inspiration: (Collection of Hawaiian names at random I find nice or intriguing)Kaimana (kie-MA-na)
Keone (keh-O-neh)
Keoni (Ke-oh-nee)
Iokua (E-uh-koo-uh I presume)
Iolana (ee-o-LA-na)
Kalena
Kiana
Kai
Kalani
Maile (MIE-leh)

I love Leilani, and it's crossed over into non-Hawaiian use that I wouldn't feel like I was ripping off Hawaiian culture if I used it, unlike most other Hawaiian names.

Lorelei is a German name, originally spelled Loreley.

Oof. Thanks for correcting me. I found out the name Lorelei in Hawaiian is just Lolelei.
