I would say Kil-ahn-a.  I am not familiar enough with Hawaiian culture to know what names are masculine/feminine, but the -ana ending says girl to me.

I would instinctively pronounce it kil-awn-uh. And I think it looks really feminine. Like PP, I'm not familiar with Hawaiian names but if I saw it on paper, I would assume it was a girl.

I would say Kil-ah-na. And I would think girl because of the ana at the end.
