I love
Anastasia and briefly considered it for
Anna. I finally rejected it because I prefer the Russian pronunciation which I feared people wouldn't use. The basic English one (an-a-STAY-zha) doesn't do much for me and reminds of me 'anesthesia.'
Anya is really cute as well.
Having said all that, I'd be much more likely to use it today with the pronunciation I prefer. People can easily learn.
Ooh,
Anastasia and
Valentina are PERFECT together!
