Both are pretty bad.

Anastasia. Narcissa is a horrible thing to name a human being.

Narcissa, definitely. Anastasia's always felt tawdry to me.

Anastasia by a landslide.

I love both, but obviously Anastasia is more approachable. There's just something about Narcissa though...it's sharp, elegant, and reminds me of the flower :)

Love Anastasia. It’s beautiful with multiple nickname options and a nice meaning. I hate Narcissa because it sounds like narcissism and the only other association I have with it is an unpleasant Harry Potter character.

Narcissa is too closely associated with narcissism. Nerissa is better in this regard as a close comparison without the baggage.

I like Anastasia and Nerissa with approximately equal measure

Anastasia is beautiful.

Narcissa is weird, but beautiful in a way.

Anastasia is nice, don't like Narcissa

Anastasia. I think it’s a pretty name with lots of nickname possibilities. I also think of Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the last Russian tsar.

Not only does Narcissa scream Harry Potter series to me it’s also an unattractive name.

I'd choose Anastasia. I don't like it enough to want to use it, but I have a soft spot for it because of enjoying the Anastasia Krupnik books growing up. Narcissa sounds prissy and sissy, and a narcissisti is a selfish person who only cares about herself and is no fun to be around. Yes, it's a flower too but so what?
