[name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a is a Hawaiian name, pronounced “ha-lee-[name_m]AH[/name_m]” and WITH the okina, it means “sudden remembrance” of a loved one, or fond memories of loved ones (without the okina, it’s the past tense of “to carry” or “transport,” sorry Nameberry ;p). I lovelovelove [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a and the sentiment, especially as a way to honor family, but I’m not sure how to use it.
As a middle name, I really love [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a, [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a, and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a, and as a first name, [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a Wildflower, [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Poem[/name_f], but I would absolutely love suggestions— anything, anything.
And as a side note, what do you think of [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a? x
I’ve not come across [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a before, but I think it’s just lovely. The meaning is particularly beautiful and I think it’d be a perfect way to honor ancestors without actually using their names, particularly if one had some Hawaiian heritage or fond memories of [name_m]Hawaii[/name_m].
Of the combos you have listed, [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a, [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a Wildflower & [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a [name_f]Joy[/name_f] I like best, and as for suggestions, [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a, [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a, [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a [name_u]Fable[/name_u], [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] & [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] were the first to come to mind.

I’ve also never heard of this! While I’m not usually fond of H names, I particularly love the meaning of this name. I like combos [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Poem[/name_f], [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_u]Lane[/name_u], and [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Odette[/name_f].
[name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a is gorgeous…both the sound & the meaning. The first thing that popped into my mind was [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]…as in the gentle west wind blowing remembrances of a loved one. Maybe [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a [name_f]Irene[/name_f]…both [name_f]Iris[/name_f] & [name_f]Irene[/name_f] mean rainbow.
[name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a is lovely, and I, with no experience with Hawaiian names, managed to pronounced it properly, which has got to be a bonus for using the name. I think it’s lovely both as a first and a middle. My favourites are [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a Wildflower and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a
[name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a sounds lovely! I really like [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a, [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a Wildflower, [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_u]Hali[/name_u]’a [name_f]Poem[/name_f]. These combinations are beyond adorable!

[name_u]Hali[/name_u]'a has a beautiful sound and beautiful meaning! I have never heard it before! I would suggest though that if you are not living in [name_m]Hawaii[/name_m] or do not have a Hawaiian background, you may want to alter it a little to make the spelling/pronunciation more straightforward for English speakers, and to simplify filling out forms? Perhaps Hallia? I think that apostrophies can throw a lot of people off and make forms (especially online) a little tricky.
