I love the name Graciella but not sure if people would pronounce it the same as I would. How would you pronounce it?

OP, just asking, has any of this been helpful?

Gratz -ee - ella

If you want Gracie Ella then call her Gracie Ella with or without a hyphen

It looks like it comes from a Latin language, so usually their sounds it becomes Grassy-ella.

If you want Gracie-Ella, then you need to spell it that way, not like an Italian name.

gratz-ee-ella

Grassy ella - because I knew one and this was the way she pronounced it. (Not Grace ee ella). Sounded nice in a Spanish accent but less so in a London one.

Gracie-Ella.

But to me it sounds like a disease or impairment, like salmonella or something.

If it's like Mariella (Mariella Frostrup says her name as Marry Ella not Marie Ella) then it's Grassy Ella.

Evamarie looks like it should sound like EVammery.

We had Evamarie last week.

Is this the new fashion for the demographic who've been furiously hyphenating for ten years?

FWIW, it looks like Gra-chi - ela to me

Joeybee · 22/07/2017 01:44

Like the Italian way of pronouncing it...not sure how toshow that, but like "Gratziella"

MikeUniformMike · 21/07/2017 19:38

Grassy Ella. It's a No from me.
Gracienne is pretty but it's Grassy En. Another No.

Gracie Ella?

Lemondrop99 · 21/07/2017 18:58

Why not go with Gracie Ella? No hyphen.

I know a Gracie Lea. Always called Gracie Lea in full

cushioncovers · 21/07/2017 18:52

Gracie-Ella

GrumpyOldBag · 21/07/2017 18:51

Or like Footle said.

GrumpyOldBag · 21/07/2017 18:50

Gratt - see - ella

MercuryMadness · 21/07/2017 18:49

Gra- chella

PlymouthMaid1 · 21/07/2017 18:31

Grah see ella

ShmooBooMoo · 21/07/2017 18:28

How do you pronounce it, OP?
Tbh, it looks like one of those 'I made this up...I want to be different' names. However you pronounce it, I think it looks nicer in print than it sounds IRL. I wouldn't want to be named it...

MrsDc7 · 21/07/2017 18:25

Grach Ella

ShmooBooMoo · 21/07/2017 18:24

Like Mariella...

Grace-ee-ellah

RhubardGin · 21/07/2017 18:23

Grassy-Ella.

It's a bit of a mouthful tbh

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/07/2017 18:18

Agree with TWIST, Grat zee ella.

SeveredPixieBits · 21/07/2017 17:41

Grassy-ella

bridgetreilly · 21/07/2017 17:38

First name Gracie, middle name Ella. Done.

Elmo230885 · 21/07/2017 16:46

If you are having to ask this I would say its not really fair to give it as a name, as the child will spend their entire life correcting people

Grassy Ella

Sorry

ChoudeBruxelles · 21/07/2017 16:38

Grey-see-ella
