Isn't it a spelling variant of Graciela, rather than a combination of Grace and Ella? Anyway, I don't mind it but it's not my style. I generally don't like -ella names and it's too frilly for my taste. But not a bad name in general.**Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much**

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.

I asked the girl, and she said it was a combination of Grace and Ella.
