And this is what is important?!? This is what public officials are spending time on? Unbelievable. Just when you think the stupidity level has reached a peak.. Nope.
You summed up trump and the gop and their policies like public urination or wolves or too busy grifting like the 60$ Bible trump is trying to sell along with shoes, trading cards of himself, coins, steaks even 🤦🏽♂️ they are too focused on trying to keep trump out of jail and taking away your rights taking away social security medicaid foodstamps women's rights
a few want-to-be Elites with some cash think the old name is stupid, so they recommended the change to the counsel members and also a way to get back at the locals.
From Big Island and beside it being the given nickname for her for obvious reasons, locals use “Big Island” to specify which island they are referring to; like Maui is the Valley Isle, Kauai the Garden Isle, etc. Enough with trying to change us to appease them 😤👊 Stop it. Hawaii is Moku O Keawe. Go home.
for the locals, for the longest time, their ancestors called it the "Big Island", because it is the biggest island of the bunch and has some historical and cultural significance. Taking the Big Island completely out of the picture, also meant taking the culture and some history away from the island. Nobody says a place can't have two names. Minneapolis/St Paul for one. Officially call it Hawaii Island but keep the aka. Big Island name.
When 7-11 Convenient Chain Store used to be open only from 7am to 11pm and later to a 24-hour convenient store, they didn't change their name to something like 24hr, Two-Four or 24 Stores did they?
Elected officials are supposed to represent us. Look at the southern border and you start to get the feeling that’s changed and they do what they damn well please
It would make sense that, Hawaii, implies the entire archipelago-chain: a reference point in the pacific where those islands exist, each of which have its own name: traditionally one-island in the archipelago bears the name-sake; but in this case it would make sense to name the big island by the native-translation of its description Nui-Nvs-Aina, Hawaii: biggest-important-land-&-sea.
So since "they' can't figure how to call the Big Island and we have to change - is the UK going to officially change how they call all their monies cause it confuses people from pence shilling pound - it's so stupid.
If a tourist on the Big Island asked me how long would it take for me to drive to Waikiki..I’d say start driving now you should reach it soon! Then I’d walk away! But first..I’d give them my number so they can tell how it went! 😂. Because I’m petty like that!
It's all for the tourists that's what it is always got to accommodate the tourists right as for me and everybody else said all the old timers it'll never be that
For very long time people called it Big Island, not Hawaii island because people get confused on which island is Hawaii island because the whole state is called Hawaii as well
If you were real reporters, you would be pointing out what a ridiculous waste of time and tax payers money spent on this frivolity. But alas ,you are just sellout talking heads. That don't serve the community you live in. Don't serve these people in your establishments people. They don't serve you.
Seems like everybody’s commenting the same thing. SMH, come on people! Life is short! So do what will make a difference in someone’s life. Changing the island’s name does what again? And helps who?
When you change the historical name to fit the tourists and malihini who come in and don't want to learn the history or culture, you've already lost the culture. People call Waialua Bay Beach 69. As a Hawaiian, pretty insulting to not even want or care to know or learn. Hawaiian name places were given names because of peculiar traits that makes them different, to malihini, "let's name it after the # telephone pile used for directions or maybe a sex position!" If you go to Rome, do as the Romans do. When you come to Hawaii, call it whatever you want!
I’ve had someone ask me if they needed a passport to come here to visit me! Don’t allow dummies to change the name! Google is your friend, folks! 🙄 🙄 Concentrate on the homelessness, housing for low income families, and the high cost of food! Put this on the calendar for 2144!
Addendum; I heard some Brits talking about all their young people moving to the “Big Island”, and I thought “the big island, what the hell are they talking about, no they’re not”. Then it occurred to me from some other details they weren’t talking about Hawaii, but Australia.
This what happens when Yu got Millions of 💰 💰 💰 Yu spending it on the dumbest shit ever instead of using it for building facilities for homeless people in needs and our keikis and our Kupunas
😠 For goodness sakes … this should be a no brainer. Just make “Big Island” the official name! Done!. Never mind about how the mainlanders think. They should know what the word “Island” means. If not, they can google it. Now could you please move on to important issues.
All Hawaiian islands are part of the State of Hawaii. So officially calling one island Hawaii or island of a Hawaii makes no sense. All islands are islands of Hawaii. Why is no one proposing “Big Island”? That’s the name us locals born and raised call it. Oh and thanks a lot to the person who never look at the map asking how to drive from Waikiki to Hilo now our tax paying dollars going towards high paying salaries to brainstorm how to ensure no one tries to drive from Oahu to Hilo again. Wowee must’ve been one important mainlander.
Geographic Features = Big island is shaped like a Shaka. call it SHAKA. S = Spirit H = Balance aka = Being ex: Kanaka = Kan = Human (Male & female) aka = being AHLoHa Ah = inhale Lo = a unexpected Wonder Ha = exhale
🤦♂️ changing the name of big island is very disrespectful, growing up it was always the big island or Hawaii the only thing should be changed is ya undawea 😅😅
We've changed all kine names so tourist can pronounce a word ie keaholehole now keahole, let's dumb down for the people rich enough to vacation then move here lol yeah ok👍🏽
As if there are not more important things to focus on. Silly! Wasting time, wasting energy, wasting tax payers money. Typical
umm, shouldn't ya'll be focus on RESTORING Lahaina
And this is what is important?!? This is what public officials are spending time on? Unbelievable. Just when you think the stupidity level has reached a peak.. Nope.

changing historical name also changes its past, one way to sweep under
Ok......what about lahaina?
We have multiple islands including Hawaii that can't keep the lights on . But this is what people want to waste time on . Absolutely ridiculous
Hawaiians not wasting their time on this mainland confusion. Stay home if you can’t figure it out.
You had over a hundred years.
@@johnnyboyjohns2930 I think it's pretty stupid
Why is it our problem that tourists don’t know how to google info before a trip ! How is the conclusion changing the name 🤦🏽♀️ what a waste of time !
Thats what I said. They need to learn then if they're confused. No one asked for this
Big Island 🏝️ n that’s that…mainland is mainland. We not changing for their convenience 😠
Agreed. It's always been "Big Island" to me.

Hawaii is Moku O Keawe. Go home.
The WEF is, and they're using Gov Green
❤️B.I. 💯🤙
The original Polynesians named it Hawaii. It will always be that.
I can’t argue with that
mahalo ia oe, yes we did.
Period.
@therealclarkkent-ss7wh is an incorrect name
It's Hawai'i. If malihini dont know where they're at... problem is their own. Who tf goes somewhere without researching😂?
How about spend that time working on homeless problem???
It’s named Hawaii for a reason, we must honor that name not replace it like some kind of prop!
Agree
This must be a April Fool's joke.
Over entire state government is a joke!
It's the "big island " because of landmass. It is Hawaii.
We are Hawaii. Leave us alone.
Yep 😤
We have so many important issues, and our politicians use their time to discuss renaming an island. How about tackling inflation.
Inflation is a feature of Bidenomics. They are downgrading the West in purpose.

Big Island !
Hawaii
Got nothing better to do but just mess around with the Hawaiian Islands
Just keep it as HAWAII.
Seriously?!?! 😳 This is just silly... There are definitely more important things to talk about.
How can a decision like this be made without any community input?

Aloha, Hawaii 👋
Kauai 👋

Just like dat🤙
Say it with me 🗣️ ALOHA
No! You don’t change a name because people are stupid or lazy.
What can we rename the homeless to?
Leave it alone
"Divide et impera" - Sometimes the best solution when you create other problems. The focus shifts.

Change the Government( Mr Green and his claws)NOT the name ❗️❗️
name it EXPENSIVE MAHALO
Go home😤
Big island nicknames should be the official name
Your nickname is your official name 😂🤡
What will it be named after China purchases it ?
Haiwan
Huaiwan
Purchase? You mean missile attack, right?
Good to know what’s important
Big island is perfect and it describes it perfectly so why change a perfect thing.
So since "they' can't figure how to call the Big Island and we have to change - is the UK going to officially change how they call all their monies cause it confuses people from pence shilling pound - it's so stupid.
Big Botoland.
Only the native hawaiians can do this. I don't see anyone changing the names in the states.

Also Changing the name is to satisfy who? The Tourist?!?
yeesh
Joe Moore's son using air quotes haha.

What ever the new name should be given by Native Hawaiians only.
Politicians are so tone deaf it’s ridiculous! Clearly, they get paid too much to do nothing!

Just call it Hawaii and be done with it.
Hows the rebuilding of Lahaina going ?

Call Big Island a Sovereign County

Weird, I'm British and have never heard Oz referred to as that.
Maybe we should leave the island with the name Hawaii and change the name of our state instead.
Im offended by the name so lets call it Island of Cali
Call it the island of "Kona" or " Hilo", Hawaii island is confusing 😕.
No. We like Hawaii
Is that really important right now?
It’s big island! For you that are confused go back we’re you came from!

First world problems 🙄
Nothing better to do?
What about asking HAWAIIANS what the name is, and, go with that? No wonder they PISSED about "sovereignty" issues!
Aren't you glad they gave themselves raises to fix all these non-problems?
PATHETIC!!!
Waste of time and money
How much do the taxpayers spend on the Board of Geographic Names?
Who is on the board?
How do I get a job there? Sounds like an easy gig.
How about ....Junk Car Island?
Or...The Homeless Island?
Or ....The Crime Island?
I live here in Ocean View...and these names seem very appropriate.
Ocean View is totally completely notorious for all of those things you described. I would move if I were you.
