It's nice.. It reminds me of Damian, which I've seen both white and black boys named. I wouldn't worry too much about "what race it sounds like" though, personally!
One of my best girlfriends is named Davian - she is an only child named for her father, David.

Re: Davian
Life at Chunky Gal
When I think of the name Davian, I think of a purple kid with pink spots.
Seriously though, I like the name! I'm not sure if I have ever heard of it before.
I think of Evian water or the Avian flu. It is an interesting name.
ETA: I do like the name though, and I agree with the race issue, it doesn't really matter.
LOL!
I think its a cute name, its unique but not too out there.
I don't think racial thoughts really matter. I have seen both black & white boys with the name Caleb - who cares?
