[Opinions] I really dislike it if it's pronounced anna-STAY-sha

It's just faux-Russian to me. And changing the spelling of the name - especially if you're going to pronounce it anna-STAY-sha - to Anastasiya is just wrong. The spelling screams out for the proper pronunciation of ana-STAS-ee-a.

I also really don't like "cute" middle names, since a name serves a purpose in life. I think something elegant is a better match. My favorite combo is Liv Anastasia - what about Anastasia Liv?

Anya is a cute enough nn for Anastasia, though.

•Isn't the Russian pronunciation ah-nah-stah-SEE-yah? · Kate · 9/22/2007, 5:20 PM

•That's ok. Because I am not from Russia, I don't mind if Anya is not a common nickname for Anastasia. n/t · elysa · 9/22/2007, 4:24 PM
