[Opinions] Re: Anastasia and Anina
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
I think, that because of the similarity in sound, that Anina is a "doable" nickname for Anastasia. Not very many people would know that there was no connection. But I love Anastasia on its own, and if I ever used it, I would not have a nn for it. My favorite nn for Anastasia is Anya, and I agree with you about not liking the others.

I'm not too sure if I'd have a pet name for Anastasia, either. I wouldn't be calling her Anina all the time, it would just be a little term of endearment. :) But I can see the other poster's point that it might be a bit too pretentious.
As for the other pet forms, there's not a lot of choices (that I like, anyway):
Nastya, Asya, Asulya, Asyanya, Nastenka, Nastentsiya, Nastukha, Nastulya, Nastyusha, Tosenka, Nastyushka, Asyusha... :S
