Hawaiian Baby Names

What to Consider When Choosing a Hawaiian Baby Name

Hawaiian baby names have ethereal meanings, and you might find yourself getting lost in the beauty of them. We don’t blame you one bit, but don’t forget to think of a few other things before making your final name selection.

First, it can be helpful to start with listening to the way that the Hawaiian baby names you like sound with baby’s last name. Even if you fall for a name, you might not love how it sounds as a full name. Make sure you try potential middle names, too, to make sure the full name rolls right off the tongue. You can bet on the odds that you’ll be saying it a lot!

Next, think about whether you want to use any shortened versions or nicknames with the Hawaiian names you’re considering. You should also think about nicknames others might come up, too, even if you don’t love them. Once you think you have some contenders, take a look at the initials together to make sure you don’t accidentally spell something. And finally, practice saying the names you think you might have settled on. You’ll be able to tell quickly whether you truly love it, and whether you think it matches with baby’s personality (even if they’re still in utero!).
