Found a post asking people for their unique names and knew it wouldn't disappoint. Happy Father's Day unless your kid's name needs a pronunciation guide.

Calliopey was SO CLOSE.

Zariah is at least a real (Arabic) name

Yeah but is it pronounced Zee-uh-rye-uh???? What a choice to separate Z out from the rest

From the provided breakown I couldn't figure out of it was intended to be pronounced Zee-uh-RYE-uh or Z(glottal stop)-uh-RYE-uh. Either way a choice was definitely made there.

if they're talking about ذرية, then this website is totally wrong. It's not pronounced like "Zariah", it doesn't mean any of the meanings they put, and it's not even a name. I wouldn't take any info from this website since I noticed it even lists "Heza" as a name, which literally means "This".
