just found this name in a name book, in the name book it says its a Hawaiian name meaning in loving memory. I think its beautiful but cant use it since my name is [name_f]Hailey[/name_f]
There was a Hawaiian girl on Toddlers and Tiaras called [name_f]Halia[/name_f] a few years ago. I remember thinking it was gorgeous, but the responses (on Nameberry and otherwise) I got were pretty negative - people just thought it was made up.
I do really like it, even though it’s not really ‘me’.
The name [name_f]Halia[/name_f] is very beautiful. It’s a legitimate Hawaiian name. It’s also the name of a sea nymph in Greek mythology who committed suicide so that’s a downer. Maybe it’s best to think about the Hawaiian meaning instead of the Greek tragedy. I have a soft spot for the name.
I did’tn know it had a Greek connection, to bad it’s not the best story otherwise id be really tempted to have it on my list. my name not being hailey may also help that lol
Reminds me of [name_f]Halina[/name_f] (Meaning, origin and history of the name Halina - Behind the Name). I like it!
It reminds me of a character on the show weeds…because of that i’m not really a fan! If I didn’t have this association I would like it though!
