Help[Opinions] Gratiana
It's been on my mind a lot lately.
How do *you* pronounce it?
What do you think of it?
Would you use it if you already had a child named Sebastian?

If I'm thinking in Polish, my "default" pronounciation is the same as in case of Graziana. If in English, gray-shee-AH-nah. I have no idea whether it's correct or not, it's just what comes to my mind first when I see it.
I'm not a big fan of it, I like Gratia though, or Graziela, our Polish Gracjanna (grah-TSYAHN-nah) or Gracja (GRAH-tsyah). Although it has some charm too and a lot of energy which's nice.
It goes very well with Sebastian imo.

Pronunciation
So I’m assuming it’s pronounced GRAY-shun-ah because Gratian is GRAY-shun.
I like GRAY-shun-ah. I’m not a fan of the other pronunciations I’m seeing.

I've never encountered this name before, but naturally, I'd pronounce it as "grah-TYA-nah". I'm not a big fan of it, and I probably wouldn't use it overall.

I'd pronounce it like Christiana or Tatiana: gra TYA na. It's interesting, but not my cup of tea.

I'd probably pronounce it gra-TSYA-na, or maybe gray-SHA-na or gray-see-ah-na. I don't really like it, it makes me think of the word 'grating'.

My first impulse is grah-tee-AH-nah, but if somebody with that name told me it was graht-see-AH-nuh, I could switch over with no problems. I could even see GRAY-shun-uh.
With the first two though, I can't help but think of the slang term "grotty".

I've been saying it GRAY-shun-uh because Gratian is GRAY-shen.
I'm seeing this isn't the direction everyone is going though. Hmmm.

Pronounced like that I really dislike these names. It makes them sound modern and trendy, like Grayson, which isn’t my style at all.

Oh wow, GRAY-shun-uh would never, ever occur to me. I'd say Gratian as GRAH-tsee-in.

I don't like Sebastian for a boy, and Gratiana reminds me to much of grate or grit.

Hi !!!!
I would immediately say gra-TYA-na (Italian pr). But this would be only a flash because I surely read it gra-TSYA-na if someone ask me for it as I recognise it is Latin.
ETA I dislike it.
Gratiana and Sebastian are a bit too similar. People would mispronounce at least one of them if they see them together.
