Hokulani frowned.
When it came to Storm's insistence on keeping her name, Hokulani shook her head.
That sounds completely unromantic.She huffed, stopping to dig up a cache of meat.
We aren't on Glass Cove, so why not just marry me?Hokulani looked back at Storm,
unless you just don't like me.
When it came to Storm's insistence on keeping her name, Hokulani shook her head.
You don't give up your name. You'll get a ceremonial one sooner or later, but it's just that. Ceremonial.She explained,
I have one, Noe I ka Lani Kakakhiaka, Mist in the Morning Sky.She had always found pride in it. Her father had given it to her, and it was one of the few good moments with him that she remembered.
Coastal Spiritualists give it to four month old children to celebrate survival, or adults who join up after they finish the trials. It's meant to be used for celebrations, other than that we don't use them.
No, the naming system is more of a pain with children.She clicked her tongue,
The girls will take my suffix, lani, and the boys will use mele, my fathers. Usually it would be the suffix of the sire, but rules say he has to be present.It could be limiting, but since they didn't use surnames it was how family ties recognised each other.
You're an outsider so rules are different for you. If you had pups, it would be up to you if you split your name into two halves. The girls would still take your suffix if you did, or you would give them outsider names. Boys would depend on the sire.
