I know someone named this, who pronounces it ahna-STAHZ-ee-uh. I really like this pronounciation, but the more common (at least where I live) pronounciation I also like, which is anna-STAJE-ah. I would pronounce it however the mom would like me to, though.

Hope this helps!

I like Anastasia a lot. The most common pronunciation I've heard is an-uh-STAY-zha, but I really like an-uh-STAH-zee-a, with the nn Star (although that might only work in non-rhotic varieties of English).

an-uh-STAY-... how DO you signify the funky z/j sound? zhuh?

NN:
Ana
Annie
Stacy
Stacia
Asia (not my choice)

Nasty... but I don't recommend it. :D

I had a friend with this name, pronounced anna-STARS-ee-a. She went by Stasia (STARS-ee-a) or Sia (ZEE-a)

ann-ah-staj-yah is how my family would say it. I'd say Ann-ah-stay-sha. Anya, Aya, Stacy & Anna would be used interchangably by me, if I used Anastasia. I think it's gorgeous!

Anastasia is lovely, although I much prefer Anastasie. I would pronounce it a-na-STAY-zha.

If I ever use Anastasie I would use the nn Anya.

ana-STAY-zhuh

Anya is a popular nickname for Anastasia (its the Russian version of Anna) its pronounced AHN-ya.
