I read Gidget when I was a kid, so I knew what Wahine meant.
To me, its connotation has always been "tough woman" or "strong woman", not just "woman". So I don't think it will deter anyone. I truly don't. It sounds powerful to me.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
