Wow, thanks for all the responses!! You've really assuaged a lot of my concerns. Wahine does inspire me more. I guess the verdict is out. Of the other people I've polled I've gotten about a 2 to 1 ratio of for and against.

Oak - I agree, in some contexts Wahine does have a negative connotation. In fact, that's how I was first called Wahine, by a guy on a beach that was referring to how I looked. But then I kicked his but in the water and took on the name with pride. I really appreciate your view and input.

As for Yoda... it just doesn't work with the logo.
