Hawaiian or english baby name?

I am hawaiian and my fiance is caucasian. We want our childrens names to mean something but at the same time be accepted in society. Since we live in the states We've agreed that our baby's first name will be english and their middle names hawaiian. But for our son, my fiance tells me that the middle name MUST be Edward (his middle name is edward and his father, and his grandfather and so on). So that means my baby's first name must be Hawaiian. he's not down for it. He's afraid that he'll be ridiculed and people will butcher his name if it's the first name. So I suggested a second middle name and he says that second middle names are senseless and silly. So I seriously don't see where I get my hawaiian name in this. We made a deal that we would put both cultures into the naming of our children, but with a boy name, it causes a pickle. what do you think? I know...hope for all girls. :)

Hawaiian or english baby name?
I think he's being a little selfish insisting on Edward for the middle name, and refusing a second one, plus not being cool with a Hawaiin first name. He's not compromising at all - girl, you are the one that is going to carry the baby, give birth to the baby, and breastfeed the baby. Daddies are lucky if we let them have any say at all!:) Seriously, he needs to lighten up. So what if people butcher the name? They'll learn it if they need it, and it will be something unique. There's nothing wrong with that. Bribe him.

Reply:I see Hawaiian names everywhere whatever you choose to name the baby like lalani for a girl for example will be excepted , i live in WA and there are a lot of people who i went to high school with that had beautiful Hawaiian names i say go for it
Reply:I really think that your baby will be fine with a Hawaiian boy first name. If your husband still has a problem with that, maybe you can pick a really easy, recognizable Hawaiian boy name!
Reply:Well, I LOVE the Hawaiian name Kalani (for a boy or girl). There's a famous boy named Kalani David and he's a surfer! I like Kalani Edward too. It also means "The Heavens" so It's really beautiful. Run that past your fiance, and see what he says :)





Good luck!

Reply:I thought Hawaii was part of the United States...I didn't know there was a difference. I mean I dont see why he/she would be ridiculed, it isn't like you are trying to merge two totally different societies. We are one in the same. I would bring this up to your hubby. We live in the US, but used an Irish name for one of our boys because we liked it. Who cares where it originated.
Reply:I LOVE Hawaiian names. They are so beautiful and unique. In today's society, people are getting very creative with their children's names. I don't think your child will be ridiculed at all, now or in the future! I went to school with a boy who had a Hawaiian name...Kaleo, and I absolutely loved that name. In fact, he was one of the popular kids in school. It doesn't matter what the name is, it's the person that counts. Kaleo had an older brother named Kanoa...another beautiful name. Your husband needs to compromise with you and stick to your original deal. If he insists on Edward, then you insist on the first name! Listen to all of us who answered, we all love the idea of a Hawaiian name. And as they mentioned above...Hawaiian is American and they will not be made fun of. Just like anyone with a Spanish name, or any other nationality for that matter, is not made fun of.
Reply:I think you should go to your kupuna and ask them for a name.
Reply:well for the girls i have areally pretty name: Nevaeh. You said you wanted it to mean something special but not be weird and Nevaeh is Heaven backwards. I think its a really pretty name for a little girl. For a boy, maybe you and your husband can find a cute little boys name. try this website http://www.babynameworld.com/hawaiian.as...
