In Ancient Latin, this name was pronounced "mar-KEHL-la", or for my fellow language nerds out there, [mäːrˈkɛlːʲä] [noted -ed]
I named my daughter Marchella. Added the "h" to make sure English speakers pronounced it "ch" as the Italians do. No nicknames like Marcy, Cella though. Straight Marchella or Chella Bella only, please.
Pronounced Mar-CHELL-ah in Italy and Mar-SELL-ah by English speakers.
Actually, I am an English speaker, live in the United States, and pronounce the lovely name Marcella as mar-CHELL-la as well. I am not even Italian, either. *shrug* It sounds prettier that way.
