Her name might NOT have been Wynee.

I doubt I am the first to point out that "wahine" (Hawaiian for "woman") sounds a lot like Wynee and there may have been some confusion among those who did not speak Hawaiian as to her name. Anyone got more on this?DaKine (talk) 19:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is already in the article. First paragraph in first section. Wahine is not usually a Hawaiian name, so it is probably not her actual name either which for all we know she never shared with the Barkleys or Meares.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:07, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
