Help[Opinions] Stacy
What are your opinions on the name Stacy?
It came to my mind because a few days ago, I found a kre8tiv variant of Stacy: Stasi. My first thought was why would you call your child the same thing as East Germany's secret police? I assume it is because most people in English speaking places don't know what the Stasi was. (And to note- assuming Stasi is pronounced the same as Stacy it's a very different pronounciation: the organization is said as shtah-zee).
It also reminds me a lot of Stasya. No surprise they're cognates. I like Stasya, some people call me Stasya and I don't mind it.
I personally like Stacy, though it isn't one of my favourites. Where I live we would spell it Steysi, which I like, but I think it probably looks weird in an English speaking country.
