My name is Marcella, and I LOVE the Latin meaning of the name, because women can be warriors, too: strong, decisive fighters when needed. My dad, who was Italian, called me "Marcellina" or "little Marcella". I just go by Marcie most of the time. I am 68 years old.

I love the history that comes with this name; it has been in use for over 2012 years. Someone else had said that they didn't like the meaning, but I love that'such a delicate sounding name carries such stren'th in its meaning. The downside is that quirky or weird characters are often named Marcy, and as previously mentioned it is difficult as a child to find trinkets with your name on it.

It drives me nuts when people mispronounce my name and call me Mar-Chella. that's not my name. Another pet peeve I have is when people change Marcie into Marcia, that Isn't my name either.

My name is actually Marcella and I'm really happy with the name I was born with. It's not too common, but not too exotic to where it can't be pronounced. People do sometimes misspell my name, but that can be forgiven. :D

I'm Italian and you would pronounce it MarCHella which is absolutely correct. I hate when'they call me MARSELLA, which reminds me of Marsala a wine.

My 9 year old daughter is named Marcella. Everyone calls her Cella. I found her name in a baby name book and fell in love with it. I really liked Isabella, but thought it was way too common.

I was named for my great grandmother. I hated it when I was little and simply went as Marcy. It was annoying that nobody else had my name and I could never find license plate for my bike or pencils that had my name on them. However, as i've become an adult, I have come to adore my name, and usually introduce myself as Marcella rather than Marcy. It's beautiful and classy and seems to have an ageless quality to it, despite not being popular since the early 20th century. And as a teacher, it makes it REALLY hard for my students to guess my name.

I named my daughter 'Marcella' in 1983, because of the little girl/ main character in the original Raggedy Ann stories by Johnny Gruelle (published originally in 1918) and also because the name relates to ancient latin and relates to being strong/warrior. I think It's a lovely, feminine name - and my daughter is a beautiful and strong person.

My beloved grandmother was Marcella and I named my daughter (born 2020) after her. She normally goes by Marcy. I hear compliments on her name all the time, and we've yet to meet another girl her age named Marcella, and so far she likes having a unique name. The nurse we had in the hospital when she was born was of Eastern European descent and called her MarCHella, and we thought it was cute, so while we pronounce it MarSella, I call her Mar-CHEL-la as a pet name'sometimes.
