HelpI really dislike it if it's pronounced anna-STAY-sha
in reply to a message by elysa
It's just faux-Russian to me. And changing the spelling of the name - especially if you're going to pronounce it anna-STAY-sha - to Anastasiya is just wrong. The spelling screams out for the proper pronunciation of ana-STAS-ee-a.
I also really don't like "cute" middle names, since a name serves a purpose in life. I think something elegant is a better match. My favorite combo is Liv Anastasia - what about Anastasia Liv?
Anya is a cute enough nn for Anastasia, though.

Isn't the Russian pronunciation ah-nah-stah-SEE-yah?

Which is what I tried to write.
I suck at writing pronunciations, and I'm worse at hearing where a word is stressed...in fact, I can never do that.
