Re: Anastasia...
in reply to a message by Cora
I had the impression that the English pron. is Ah-na-STAH-juh, whereas the Italian one is Ah-na-STA-seeuh and the Russian one is Ah-na-sta-SEEah. Personally I prefer the Italian or Russian one to the English one. I'm not quite sure about which distinctions you're pointing out. It's a great name anyway.
