Graciela is very nice, more interesting than Grace, but I can see how it would end up being Grace once they got to America. Americans of the time would likely not have pronounced Graciela the way it was intended, and who knows, maybe she or her parents just liked the sound of Grace?
I can't say I like Orfelina at all though. I remember reading a series of books when I was little about the Orphelines, which was about girl orphans (orphelines) in an orphanage in France.

I think, therefore I judge.
