I sometimes call it "ye" and sometimes "y griega". Probably the problem is that the
letter Y represents two sounds? A vowel sound (like an I) and a consonant sound?

I have been to places where they pronounce "y" more or less like a softer English "j", like non-Buenos Aires argentina. In these instances, they would make the difference between the vowel sound and the consonant. A girl name Yuly (pronounced almost like the English name July) would spell her name "je", "u", "ele", "i griega". She pronounced "je" as the french "g".
