Re: Grazy
in reply to a message by ari.
I suppose you also have Graża? More of a nn than diminutive but pretty common and only one letter away from OP's acquaintance. I wonder how Grazy pronounces her nn. Like "crazy"? Gra-zee? I guess, the latter but it really wants to morph into "crazy" or possibly "grazie" with extremely fake Italian accent.https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/109883

The reminds me of how people on discord mispronounced my username (Graz) It’s supposed to be pronounced like GROTZ or GROZ (like wizard of oz) but most people said it with a hard A (like jazz) so I just went with it. They thought it was absurd that it was supposed to be “groz” I never actually use 2 zs, just on here.
It’s ugly on purpose.

Pron like crazy.

Oh lord almighty, why? At that point it doesn't even make sense with the full name, which has an "ah" sound not "ay". If she was going to just ditch her Polish name and go by something sort of close but not quite, she could've just picked Gracie. I'm going to go ahead and assume she's very eccentric and did this on purpose, specifically to get that crazy Grazy thing, because otherwise it just doesn't add up for me.
