Comments for the name Marcella

Marcella sticks out in my mind as the little girl in the "Raggedy Ann" series. It is lovely.

I used to love Raggedy Ann when I was a little girl. Both my mum and I have loved this name ever since. It is an elegant and exotic name.

Marcella Hazan is an Italian cook. My mum has one of her cook-books.

I have met a Marcella and instead of Marcie as a nickname they used Ella.

Marcella, although old is a very pretty and feminine name.

Pronounced Mar-CHELL-ah in Italy and Mar-SELL-ah by English speakers.

Actually, I am an English speaker, live in the United States, and pronounce the lovely name Marcella as mar-CHELL-la as well. I am not even Italian, either. *shrug* It sounds prettier that way.

Marcella is the mother of Selena Quintanilla. It is a pretty name. I think Marcella would be a prefect middle name.

I don't like this name. It sounds like the name of a mean person.

A mean person? I highly disagree. I think Marcella sounds exotic and very beautiful. Different and uncommon too, which is always a good thing. Definitely a good feminine name to consider.

I like the nickname Cella for Marcella. I know someone who's called that.

I was named Marcella after my great grandma. I was mostly referred to as Marcy, but also Celly, Cella, Marce. Now that I am in my 30s I go by Marcella a lot. I have gotten a lot of compliments when I tell people my name. As for someone thinking it sounds like the name of someone mean, well all I know is my great grandma was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. And I don't see myself as mean. But maybe we just are different from the rest lol.
