The spelling of the word "Chesnea" may seem unusual at first glance, but it can be explained through phonetic transcription. The initial "ch" sound is pronounced as /tʃ/, followed by the vowel sound /ɛ/ as in "dress". The final syllable contains the consonant sound /n/ and the "ea" combination is pronounced as /i/ as in "her". Therefore, the correct IPA phonetic transcription of "Chesnea" is /tʃɛnɪ/. Despite its unconventional spelling, this name can be easily pronounced by breaking down its sounds phonetically.
