Ah hell, I've licked worse... :p

I thought hawaiian had like 9 vowels... I think the name hawaii in hawaiian is "aa". pronounced "ah-ah". Anyone confirm this? I vaguely remember this stuff from college.

Mine is Kinipela..

Hehe, I bet none of you know how to say the names. :)
Hawaiian words are pronounced differently.

Example: Ki'Ni'Pe'la -- Kee-Nee-Peh-La (I think)

Honolulu: Hon'o'lu'lu -- eh, thats one is easy

Hawaii: Ha'wai'i -- Ha-VAI-EE (not Hawaeee)

Kaaawa(city I live in): Ka'aa'awa -- KaH-AH-AVA

My favorite one is Likelike, its a highway in Hawaii, most tourists call it "Like Like"... hehehe, How about I let you all figure out how to say that one. Wouldnt want to ruin the locals fun if you ever come to Hawaii and need to ask for directions. :)

Actually, my name in Hawaii is the same as my name. It's right there on my birth certificate in Honolulu where I landed.
