My name is Anastasia and I'm Greek; Greek people pronounce the name aw-nuh-STAH-see-uh. I live in Canada and most people pronounce my name ah-nuh-STAY-zha; sometimes I get a-nə-STAS-yə or ah-nuh-STAZ-ya but never aw-nuh-STAH-see-uh from non Greek people. I happen to like all the different pronunciations of my name so I never "correct" people. I do believe an Anastasia living in North America will get sick of "correcting" people on the pronunciation, that is if she insists on the aw-nuh-STAH-see-uh pronunciation.
