Kiwi's - Looking for a NZ middle name for my DD.

[laweaselmys]

Since DP gets to give her a Welsh one.

Doesn't have to be Mouri, preferably something pronouncable to the average Brit. It's a middle name so I don't care if it's unusual or weird!

So far her name is:
Molly Arianwen _ S...

I liked Arona but DP thinks it sounds too much like Aurora. This may take a while!

[Boco]

Tui. I think that's how you spell it. It's a NZ bird. Pronounced tooey.

Aroha - the goddess of love

Hinemoa - from one of the Maori legends

Ngaire - flaxen

Pania - sea maiden

Marama - light of the world

[delphinedownunder]

Ooooh - i love Ngaire. What about Roimata or Moana?

[ninedragons]

I know a Tui. She's very elderly, so it's been in circulation as a name for at least 90 years.

[laweaselmys]

Sorry - I totally forgot I started this thread!!

I like the sound of Tui, it's simple but sounds nice. Will try it out on DP this afternoon.

Tui is the name of a famous New Zealand beer.

[Lionstar]

TUI is also a holiday/tourist brand - including Thomson, First Choice and various airlines

Ngaio (nye-oh), beautiful name

[Sunflower100]

I love Ngaio. Would be future dd's middle name if our choice for her first wasn't Nina

[MrsJohnCusack]

my DD's middle name is Tui (we are Kiwis)
is not particularly common here but there are a few about, both male and female

it is the name of beer but noone seems to think I've named her after that as it is a Maori name.
