Tehani?

Girl Names

(I posted this in the baby names forum, but thought I’d post it here too)

What do you think of the name Tehani for a little girl?

Here’s what I know about the name:
It’s of Tahitian origin, means “the sweet caress of flowers” or “loved one,” and can be pronounced as either tay-ha-nee or teh-ha-nee.

I personally prefer and would use the teh-ha-nee pronunciation.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it would age well?
Does it fit in a [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand European + Polynesian family? …as a [hypothetical] sister to [name_f]Siena[/name_f]?
Any middle name suggestions?

Thanks :slight_smile:

I had never heard this name before, but it seems like a little Tehani would fit nicely into your family! And I think it would age just fine. I have a cousin named Peili, and that was a major critique from other relatives about her Name, but it hasn’t seemed an issue at all as she’s grown older.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Anyone else?

Definitely fits into your family. Reminds me of [name_f]Leilani[/name_f], [name_f]Meilani[/name_f] and Kehlani (from the rapper), all names I think are beyond beautiful.
