Most Portuguese speaking people say like this as well 

Ah-deh-lee

[NichuuB 43,788]

And period for it being Gran-dee, since it's pronounced as a Spanish or Portuguese word

She's not meaning that we're literally saying her name wrong. Ah-dell is the correct pronunciation, it's merely accent that makes it sound different. You're not mispronouncing it when you say it with your accent, it's just the way your accent makes the name sound. For example, I want to ask this of Americans - when you say the name Clara, are you literally saying Clara or are you meaning to say Claire-a? Because I've always heard Americans say it like Claire-a and I think they are meaning to say Clara but their accents make it come out sounding different. I'd like to know what they're actually trying to say for verification. British accents work in the same way. My mum's called Isabelle and my aunt, despite having the same Scottish accent as us, is more working class and therefore has different ways of saying things and she pronounces it like Isabill and it drives me mad. I'd hate to have my name said wrong by my own family. Luckily, I noticed that she is saying it properly recently. Accents can give names a whole different flair but as long as you know what they're trying to say, it shouldn't be an issue.

When I went to the US I was just glad I wasn't a dude named Craig or Graham

"Cregg"

"Gram"

There's no way that's how you pronounce Ariana's name, when it's literally in Spanish haha..

Sorry but uhdelle totally sounds better

[TEANUS 13,171]

It just sounds American country/ Southern to me 

[hELXIG 41,981]

Why do I find it funny that they added the correct pronunciation of Ariana's last name, when it's her first name everyone struggles with   so many people call her AIR-iana when it's really ARE-iana

Tove Lo (Habits, Glad He’s Gone) is pronounced too • vuh • loo

Well not really, Tove or Tova is a Swedish name and we pronounce it Too * veeh * loo but since she says it so fast it sounds a lot like too * vuh * loo or Toov * loo. She usually also tries to say her name in English which gives it a weird sounding version. But whenever she says it in Swedish I can guarantee you it is Too * veeh * loo.

If there only was a way to efficiently represent the right pronunciation  for any given name without actually hearing the person say it….
