Answer 1

if you want to give your child a unique/unusual name, don't just make something up and don't just guess at some word you heard - go FIND a REAL name.

There are plenty of exotic, foreign and interesting names all around, easy to find on the internet.

Cheziray? Sounds like someone thinks they are speaking French (it's not, but maybe you're thinking of DESIREE which is a girl's name) but doesn't actually know any French
Travianna? Pronounced like that? No, it looks Italian but you want to pronounce it odd. Perhaps you're thinkin of TRAVIATA?

Look, put a few letters into google in quote marks ("----") then the word "name" and see what you get. Look up a name you think is decent, or a word you like the meaning of and see what names come up.

Don't just make something up that has NO meaning and is spelled wrong or pronounced wrong. All you do is make it obvious that you don't know what you're doing.

Answer 2

When I first looked at the question, I thought how do you pronounce that?? Then I looked at how you had it divided up and thought Chez? Isn't that awful close to Chex or Prez or some other junk food? You don't think kids at school are going to have a great time rhyming those names? (And if you think anyone will use the whole name and not call them Chez and Tray, think again.) I think one sounds like a Russian food and the other sounds like a country.
Then my second thought was what I learned working at a temporary agency's front desk--if you have no idea how to say the name, you don't call them to work for you. (I would have called and asked for Chee-zee-ry and Travis-anna, if left to my best guess.) Think when you give your children these names how they may be skipped over because no one has a clue. I know it sounds harsh, but I HAVE A DIFFICULT NAME (not Jess) and SO DOES MY GRANDDAUGHTER and we suffer from people thinking we're persons of color. We're not--the names became popular lately.

Answer 3

Some of these posters are a little harsh.

I wonder how you decided on those two? Is there family history or an endearing place with which those names are associated?

They are definately unique. Ultimately the choice is yours, however if you are having doubts about a name, perhaps it may be good to rethink your choices?

Good luck!

Answer 4

I actually remember a girl in the late 80's naming her child Chazaray.Odd at the time, more acceptable now.Travianna sounds as if they are trying to pull Travis out of it. My step-daughter name is Travisha and the boys are Travis, Tavis, Travesea, Trevin. Guess what Dad's name is? Love him to death but no babies for me. I will not allowed anymore torture in the bloodline.

Answer 5

If the names have a powerful meaning that will help you explain your children why you wanted to hurt them being so young... do it.
If your family heritage leads you to pick or transform a Mid-European name....do it.
But if you just heard it and think they could be trendy some day forget it! If the children are going to live in USA teachers are going to have problems trying to have the pronunciation right....And if they happen to be "little rascals" teachers will remember one phony, weird and not English name first.

Keep searching.....

Answer 6

No, I dont think that is a good idea. Too hard to spell, and too hard to pronouce. Im all for unique names but it must be unique and fairly easy to spell, not like you saw it on a scrabble board and decided to go with that. Think how this name could affect them for the next 18 years at least.............Travianna is not the worse, but cheziray think long and hard ( no offense to all the cheziray's out there )

Answer 7

NO.

Just, no.

Your child will get so much flak from the kids at school if they sound like they're named after Romanian vinyards or something. It's also impossible to tell whether the child is a boy or a girl from these names!

Please, fo the love of God, reconsider!

Answer 8

I honestly think it would be hard on the child to have a name they will have to constantly spell and correct everyone on the pronunciation of their whole life. For example, the one I would have pronounced as "Trah-vee-ahna" just by looking at it. There are lots of unique names to choose from out there that wouldn't be so hard to spell and pronounce. Just my humble opinion. :-)

Answer 9

Ok, my approach to naming my girls was to make sure they were nickname and teasing proof.
Cheziray - Cheeto, Churizo
Travianna - Transvestite

I don't care for them and I see name calling being a HUGE problem later. Remember, kids are brutal to eachother.

Answer 10

I don't care for either, sorry, it sounds like you are just trying to make up a uniqe name. Why not give a child a name they can be comfortable with and actually spell.
