Hawaiian names and pronunciation?

My husband and I found out we were having twin girls a couple of days ago. I wanted to name them after my sisters, but I'm only having 2 girls and I have 3 sisters. Anyway, last year when I was 23, my husband (he was my fiance back then) and I lived in Hawaii for a year. It was amazing, we wanted to know any beautiful Hawaiian names and how they are pronounced (I looked on a website and wasn't sure of how to pronounce the names). Please help. Thank you!
