Well, they're definitely unique! To say the least...
Honestly, I don't think they're as bad as some people here are insisting. I'm not a fan of the name Messiah DeShawn, but it's also not THAT bad either.
And I'll admit that I had a really hard time figuring out how to pronounce the name Nha'Jaylah Ahriyel...I'm still not totally sure how to pronouce the 'Nha' part...if it's like "Na'Jayla" then it sounds really pretty. But the spelling is confusing. I'm not digging the "Ahriyel" spelling either. There are tons of ways to spell it so that it at least resembles what the name is supposed to be: Ariel, Arielle, Ariell, Aryelle, etc.
But name your kids what YOU like...don't worry about what anyone else says! And don't pay attention to that "how would the name look on a job resume or as a doctor" crap...anyone who judges your kids based on their names isn't worth being around anyway.

Umm, No, I love names that are different but..... Messiah? Have you ever seen Carlos Mencia talk about the name Jesus. There's only one. DeShawn has been overdone. I'm not down with Nha'Jayla either. It looks pretty but she will run into a world of mispronunciations and stutters. As for Ahriyel, it just looks funny and that too will have issues. Spell it differently by adding an extra r or 2 l(s) and an e at the end..Arielle Arrielle, Airyel. Ariyel. I think it's the h that makes it look funny.
Try looking at names from other countries or check out history books. You'd be surprised what you can find. Either way Congratulations.

For the boy I'd like to see DeShawn Messiah instead and I have honestly no clue about the girls name b/c I can't figure out how to pronounce it.

No I do not like the name Messiah DeShawn for a boy but I do like Connor for a boy!
And for a girl I like the name Jaylah but I also have some better picks to choose from like Lillian, Nicole, Jamie, and Layla

I hate them. WHY? Common sense!
How the heck do you say that 'girls' name?
What's with the apostrophes? Messiah? for real, and DeShawn, roflmao! deShawn is in deHouse wit deboys. Sounds too ghetto, and lets face it, ghetto is O-U-T!

Sorry, but no, I don't care for these names at all. Although I do like Ariel spelled the simple, classic and traditional way.
I just don't understand extra random letters inserted into names for the sake of "originality", nor do I understand having either a second capital letter or an apostrophe inserted into the middle of a first name. It just looks odd and is confusing to everyone.
And Messiah???? My God, how hard is THAT going to be to live up to.
I mean, ultimately you'll do what you want, but that's my opinion.

I do not like DeShawn at all, I don't like the way it is spelt, I don't like the word Shawn, it makes me think of bald sheep.
I would not even know how to pronounce Nha Jaylah, I think it looks like you have just randomly picked letters and put them together.

Messiah is okay because it links to my faith. DeShawn... don't like it.
Nha'Jaylah Ahriyel? Where the hell did you get that from?
No offense. =/
