With sibs Tyler and Mikayla

Kilikina Esther - this is a bit of a tongue twister...
Keilani Esther - this is nice, very pretty
Leilani Esther - prefer Keilani
Kaniele Esther - okay... not really my style, not sure why... seems made up
Brianna Esther - nice, but I do really like the idea of you using a Hawaiian name
Noami Esther - I think you mean Naomi, which I LOVE
Liliana Esther - pretty, but SO popular

BTW, I LOVE Esther....

I just went on a Hawaiian baby names site and found Noelani, which I think is beautiful. I also like Alani a lot.

I voted for Leilani. I think it meets all of your criteria best. If I was picking what sounded best (imo) with Tyler and Mikayla I'd say Brianna.

have you considered malia? (pron. mah-lee-ah) It could possibly be spelled differently.

I don't know if Malia is Hawaiian or not, but my friends named their oldest DD Malia in 1999. They thought it was a nice twist on "Maria" and that she'd be the only one in school with that name. (Mom's name is Amaria... so she likes different names). Malia started preschool with a Meliah and Maleah in her class. Go figure! It is a pretty name though, if it is Hawaiian. :) Tanya

A name I really like that I believe is Hawaiian is Deleah. That is not the right spelling at all. I just can't remember the correct spelling. That is how you pronounce it.

I like all of your names, but I have to say I think a Hawaiian name may sound a little odd. Can you imagine saying "these are my beautiful children, Tyler, Mikayla and...Keilani?
I dont know, it just seems like an odd mix. However, this is your baby and the two of you should feel free to name it whatever you like best, regardless of how it sounds to others.

I have to agree with Jessica, a very ethnic name just doesn't sound correct with trendy American names like Tyler and Mikayla.
