[Opinions] Re: Do you think a pronunciation of a name can be "enforced"?

My name is Anastasiya. I spell it with the y in English so English speakers are more likely to pronounce it correctly. It's pronounced ah-nah-stah-SEE-yah. I'm not too particular with what syllable the stress is on, as long as you're not saying a-nuh-stay-zhuh because that's a completely different name. Most people just call me Anya (AH-nyah), because that's way easier.
If it bothers you, clarify, if it doesn't, then you don't have to.
