People in Spain: How do you pronounce this name?

[branflake81]

One of my Spanish clients is called Txell (short for something but can't remember what) - how do you pronounce it? In my head it's "tix-ell" is that right?! Fortunately all our correspondence has so far been by email but I am dreading the day I have to phone and ask to speak to her.

Hola, I am Spanish and that is not a Spanish name. Is that the way they write it?
If it is a nickname or short for something else, Tx in Spain, specially in the Basque country, where it used most, is pronounced like the "CH" of CHORIZO or GAZPACHO.
I hope it helps

Hey, it is a catalan name... MERITXELL....which is used for girls. It is only used in the region of Catalunya.

The correct abreviation is TXELL!

Yes, Meritxell is her full name. How is it pronounced?

pronouced - Mar de chell.

My penfriend from my 'yoof' had a sister with that name- they were from Tarragona

thanks! good job I never spoke to her on the phone as I would have commited the sin of calling her Merry-Tixell.
