My name, Shani has always been trouble, since people have such a hard time trying to figure out the pronunciation.(rhymes with fanny) It was spelt Chani, which comes from the novel "Dune"(parents love sci-fi) but that really screwed the nurses up, so they changed the C to an S.

My parents were going to name me Brin if I were a boy, which I don't particularly care for. phew

Tikiwahine, how are your brothers Benford & Bear? :D
