I named my little girl, LeiLani in 2002. She was named after my younger sister who was 22 at the time. We call my LeiLani...ANI for short. It means beautiful. She truly is a precious gift from God..an adorable 4 year old now. I am shocked about the Statistics on the name. Very interesting to see so many folks are using it.
