[Opinions] Anatolia?
I know that it's a geographic region and all that, but I was still surprised to see it wasn't in the database. I love Anatole and Anatolius, and there's not really a satisfactory female version of it. Besides, I've also been getting impatient with Anastasia, which is a little too much for me, and Anatolia seems like a perfect replacement.So, what do you think?

Anatole is very sophisticated, to me. Anatolia isn't. I don't know why. It just doesn't appeal at all the way Anatole / Anatoly does. Perhaps because I associate Anatole / Anatoly with romantic Russian novels and I have no associations with Anatolia other than a map. Antonia, now there's a name I could really get into. Or Antonina / Antonella.

Diccionario de Nombres de Personas by Jose Albaiges Olivart lists Antalio as the masculine form of Anatole in Spanish, and Anatolia as the feminine. Slownik Imion, a book published in Poland, lists Anatolia as the feminine form of Anatolius in Estonian, Spanish, Dutch, German, modern Greek, Slovakian, and Italian. Anatolija is listed as the feminine form in Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Russian, Croatian, and Ukrainian.
