Help[Opinions] Chesbiah
The other morning I was in that weird semi-conscious state between being asleep and being awake, and I had a flash of a dream. The only thing I remember from it is a lady's nametag with the surname "Chesbiah (chezz-BIE-uh)" on it. I have no idea where it came from, but I thought I'd ask opinions on it. What do you think of it as a surname? Could you see it as a first name, and for which gender?
It has a similar ending sound to other names I like (Josiah, Tobiah, etc.), but I dislike the initial sound. It makes me think of Chester, which I'm not keen on.

The b tips it to masculine for me. I know a little girl named Cheziah, but the b takes it over to Tobiah territory, so I would think of it as a boy name.
I don't like it, though, because I find the transition from the s sound to the b sound difficult to say. It just doesn't flow very naturally.

Does she pronounce it like Keziah or with a Ch sound?

It looks like an old obscure Bible name.

It sounds like a brand of cheese puffs to me, and it sort of makes me think of Chessy from the Parent Trap as well as my uncle's old dog Chess.
There's also a listing in the urban dictionary for Chesbian.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it as a surname though.
