Now that I am just counting the days to deliver my first child, I am having second thoughts on the name that me and my husband chose which is Czerina [name]Ava[/name]. Well, we both wanted [name]Ava[/name] as the second name. As a first time Mom, 34 years old, don’t know if i will have another child again, I wanted to have a beautiful beautiful name for my daughter. If you have any [name]UNIQUE[/name] first name for my [name]Baby[/name], please help me! Thank you in Advance! God Bless you!
I would recommend [name]Zarina[/name] instead of Czerina, as she wouldn’t have the spelling/pronunciation problem all her life, but you would still have the sound that you like. [name]Zarina[/name] is a legitimate Persian name meaning “a golden vessel.” You may also like:
[name]Halina[/name]
[name]Milena[/name] (mil-EE-na)
[name]Silvina[/name]
[name]Cressida[/name]
I totally agree with you. Some people find it hard to pronounce Czerina. That’s why I’m here for help. Many thanks for the name [name]Zarina[/name]. God Bless you!
[name]Zarina[/name] is a nice suggestion. I have a friend with the last name Czerny that .NO.[name]ONE[/name]. ever gets on the first try. I know it’s frustrating for him, so I’d imagine it would be harder if it was your first name. It is beautiful though, I can understand why you love it
Thank you [name]Tara[/name]! Well, my first name is [name]Cherry[/name], and CZERI sounds like it. Haha. I got the NA from my husbands name. Maybe when she grows old she can just correct people who will mispronounce her name.
My style is not your style, but look my signature and link in it.
I love [name]Arabella[/name], [name]Viola[/name], [name]Dahlia[/name], [name]Melisende[/name]… etc.
I also have difficulty in pronouncing Czerina, but I think I like it. It’s sweet and cute, [name]Zarina[/name]'s pretty too but less appealing to me (Sorry!). Maybe I just prefer [name]Carina[/name] instead of [name]Zarina[/name]. haha.
Czerina [name]Ava[/name] is great. What’s your idea for nickname? Since we already predict that many people will mispronounce Czerina, I think introducing her with nickname will really help, not for all the time of course, but -form time to time.
Oh I didn’t realize Czeri sounded like “cherry.” Maybe Cherina? I know a lot of people on here don’t like made-up names, but that one is pretty cut-and-dry, and would have meaning for you.
Czerina is the prettiest spelling so I would go with that although the two names seem to flow into one another because of the two a’s.
I don’t know how to say it. Is it [name]Cherry[/name]-na? Chair-ee-na Or [name]Share[/name]-ee-na?
Czerina looks a lot like Czarina/Tsarina which is the traditional title of the last [name]Empress[/name] of [name]Russia[/name]. Is it suppose to be pronounced like [name]Serena[/name]?
Hello [name]Misha[/name], yes it pronounced like [name]SERENA[/name]. I just played with the spelling.
Thank you for those name suggestions. You have beautiful name lists by the way! Take care!
Aww… Thank you! It is supposed to be pronounced like [name]SERENA[/name]. I just played with the spelling As for her nickname, well, we call her [name]Ava[/name] for now.
Haha…well, cherry in French is [name]Cerise[/name] if I’m not mistaken. As what I explained to the others, I played with the spelling. Many thanks for your comments and suggestions.
Thanks dear! My husband loves it and I think I’m going to just go with It. Many thanks!
It’s pronounced like the name [name]SERENA[/name].
I would just go with [name]Serena[/name], then, which is a beautiful name. I don’t think ‘cz = s’ in any language, and I think both you and she will have constant spelling/pron hassles otherwise.
Congratulations on your baby girl! You’ve chosen a pretty name! However, so that she does not spend her life constantly correcting the spelling and pronunciation of her name, I would go with the spelling “[name]Serena[/name].”
I look at this and see Zah-ree-nuh…like Russian royalty.
[name]Reading[/name] the comments I am seeing it’s Chair-ee-nuh or [name]Share[/name]-ee-nuh? For the [name]Cherry[/name] connection?
What I am getting at is it’s pretty confusing. Maybe the smush of your names is better suited as a middle name? I know I would rather have a first name all of my own…and an easier to pronounce/more familiar one at that.
I get the appeal of a name like this- she won’t meet another, it represents you & your partner, you probably like the sound. I just don’t think it would be an easy name to carry. Maybe use it as a middle & call her by it, but give her a simpler first to have as an option if she hates explaining her name every time she meets someone new.
