HelpAnastasiya with y
Question for English speakers
Does spelling Anastasiya with a y (instead of Anastasia) make you pronounce it differently? How do you say both spellings? Asking because it's my name and I spell it Anastasiya to prevent people saying a-nuh-stey-zhuh.

I pronoince Anastasiya as anna-star-sha
and Anastasia anna-stay-sha
and Anastasia anna-stay-sha
If I saw that spelling, I think I'd ask. It could be a genuine version, as in your case, or it could be someone trying to pretty it up or make it more unique! In which case the sound probably wouldn't matter to them.
Yeah, I read Anastasia and Anastasiya differently. Anastasia, I would say as ah-na-stay-zhuh, while Anastasiya I'd say as ah-na-stas-see-yah.
Yes, same
