I have always preferred Graciela to Grace.
I like Graciella better than boring Grace.
I like Graciela. Graciella is fine, but it's obviously Anglicized and a little more frilly-princessy.
I almost taught a Graciela in South Africa; she didn't turn up to that school in the end. Are you sure that your girl's name is a splicing-together of Grace and Ella, and not a version of Graciela?
She told me it was a combination of the two names, because her parents couldn't pick one.
Graie and Ella are so boring and basic these days.
I prefer the Spanish Graciela and it's pronunciation.

Graciela still wouldn't be spelled with two ll though, because that sound makes a y sound in Spanish. The girl also wasn't Spanish.
I'm sure it's both, if the story is that they chose Graciella because they couldn't choose between Grace and Ella that doesn't mean it wasn't intended as a variant of Graciela. If they just wanted to make any combo name they could have done Gracella, Ellagrace, Ella-Grace, etc.
I'm also not sure about the parents' explanation because people who like Grace and Ella probably prefer short first names in general and I think it's unlikely that they'd settle on a long name as a compromise.
