Check your tax forms. It's Hawaii. That confuses people who don't live in Hawaii, as I am sure you already know so it has been called the Big Island. But people on Oahu know they don't live on Hawaii, but that they live in Hawaii so if asked I would first determine what they called our island and then I might act horrified at whatever the response is.
If they called it "Hawaii", feign horror and tell them we all call it the Big Island.
If they call it the Big Island, feign horror, act indignant and tell them we all call it Moku o Keawe.
If they call it Moku o Keawe, look them deep in the eyes and say "That's beautiful. And so is your island."
