Aloha all you Hawaiians out there!
I would like some assistance with naming our new boat. My newlywed wife and I have a special bond with Hawaii because that is where I proposed to her just over a year ago now. We just got married last month and as our wedding gift to eachother, we are getting a new boat!
Her nickname on some of the other boards is Killer Mermaid because of her love of spearfishing. We'd like to incorporate that into the name of the boat, but I don't think there is a direct translation.
Here's what we've come up with so far that we really like:
Makaha Mermaid
Maka Koa Mermaid
We plucked these from some translation sites, but aren't sure if they actually make any sense. Makaha is ferocious and Maka Koa is bold, strong I think. Are these acurate translations, or are we way off base here? I'd hate to pick a name, and then have it just not make any sense in Hawaiian.
Mahalo!
