[Opinions] Re: Gratiana
in reply to a message by Siân
My first impulse is grah-tee-AH-nah, but if somebody with that name told me it was graht-see-AH-nuh, I could switch over with no problems. I could even see GRAY-shun-uh.With the first two though, I can't help but think of the slang term "grotty".

I've been saying it GRAY-shun-uh because Gratian is GRAY-shen.
I'm seeing this isn't the direction everyone is going though. Hmmm.

Pronounced like that I really dislike these names. It makes them sound modern and trendy, like Grayson, which isn’t my style at all.

Oh wow, GRAY-shun-uh would never, ever occur to me. I'd say Gratian as GRAH-tsee-in.
