My name is Hawai'ian for Brian. I discovered this while vacationing there and I absolutely love it!
I've asked several natives of the islands and no one is 100% on the pronunciation, so I say it as Pah-lah-ee-na but I've heard it as Pah-lay-nah. Either way it's fun lol
My last name is a play on the word Noctem, Latin for night, and nocturnal which has always been me. You say Carpe diem, I say Carpe Noctem lol
I am the night lol
