Names in Greek

  My name is Grace and I was wondering how to say/write my name in Greek, like in the lessons with ANdreas and Ellie. Do I just sound out the letters?

  Yes, as a non-Greek woman you simply transliterate the sounds of your name as closely as possible into their Greek equivalents: Γκρέις Μαχόνι.

  Thanks! Do you pronounce the "κ" in Γκρέις ?

  No, the /g/ sound in your foreign name (Grace) is spelled in Greek with the digraph γκ.
