I pronounce it fee or el uh. I think it's really unique and beautiful. Fiora would make a good nickname along with a few others that I probably wouldn't use.

Dr. Fiorella Terenzi is an Italian astrophysicist, author and recording artist who is best known for taking recordings of radio waves from far-away galaxies and turning them into music. Terenzi is the first person to be a member of both the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (Grammy Awards) and the American Astronomical Society. Described by Time magazine as "a cross between Carl Sagan and Madonna", Dr. Terenzi has studied opera and composition at Conservatory G. Verdi, Corsi Popolari Serali and taught physics and astronomy at various U.S. colleges and universities; she is currently on the full-time faculty at Florida International University in Miami. In research at the Computer Audio Research Laboratory, University of California, San Diego, she pioneered techniques to convert radio waves emanating from distant galaxies into sound, with some of the results released by Island Records on her CD Music from the Galaxies. The goal of her audiofication/sonification of celestial data is to investigate how sound could reflect chemical, dynamical and physical properties of celestial objects, which she calls "Acoustic Astronomy".
This is such a sweet name! This website isn’t the first place I’ve seen it though. My mother’s friend and her husband named their daughter Fiorella a few years back. Later they opened a restaurant and named it Fiorella as well. I’m not sure Fiorella suits their little girl as she is a feisty little thing and definitely not a “Little Flower” as her name suggests. They call her Fio. This is one of the most beautiful Italian names out there.
Honestly, I do not agree when people say that the name Fiorella is known or used more in Italy or Ecuador... this dumb stuff happens all the time in school to me, ending point I'm Ecuadorian and it is not popular here. There are a few people, for example, my name is Fiorella and I only know one person who has my name... but it can and eventually will spread through cultures and people. For example, my next door neighbor (he's Mexican and I don't see many Fiorella's that are from Mexico) got inspiration for his niece's name from mine.
Fiorella Mattheis is a Brazilian model, television host and actress. She is the daughter of race car driver Andreas Mattheis. The 27-year-old began modeling as a young teenager and at the age of 15, moved to Sao Paulo, which is when her career took off and she slowly diversified into acting. She has been in a relationship with Pato since 2014.
This was the name of my mom's maternal grandmother, who was an immigrant from Calabria in southern Italy. I barely remember her, but I think I would like to use this name to honor her.
"Fiorella"'s Italian pronunciation:Fee-Ohr-Eyhl-LahIn "Fior" stress the "I" to "EE," "O" as in "Oh," complete with a rolling of the "R" (keep in mind that this run, when spoke, may equal the ranks of "Fyor," moreso). "E" as in "Eyh," or otherwise near "Aye." Both "L"s must be pronounced-- which is most easily accomplished by placing extra emphasis on the letter before (in this case: "E") and following slowly through to one and then the other.
The name is just too cutesy and feminine, like a character from a picture book geared towards little girls. I think that this would be an adorable mouse name, though.
Fiorella is such a pretty name, and it's a shame that it's not so common, in fact I've never even heard of a person with this name. If you wanted something delicate and unique this would be the perfect name.
It's a very pretty name, but I can't quite get past the fact that this is the name of a clothes store in Oulu, Finland, which is where I was born and where I lived up to age 7, after which I have basically visited the town several times. The store itself has only been there since my teens as far as I know, but that's the association this name has for me. The name sounds a bit over-the-top as well, but I must admit it's very nice.
I really like this name. It has a beautiful meaning ("little flower") and is very exotic-sounding. It also looks very feminine and gentle on paper; it retains this when spoken, but also gains a sort of strength when verbalized, too. Given the fact that it is a rather unusual name, and would probably be mispronounced frequently, I probably wouldn't use this name as a first name, but I'd definitely consider using it as a middle name.
