[Opinions] Re: Anastasia
in reply to a message by Perrine
Lily Anastasia is gorgeous!
As for Anastasia nn "Anya," that would almost certainly be the case if the bearer lived in Russia, or elsewhere in Eastern Europe. "Ana" might be more common in the Anglophone world, but we've heard of Anya so it shouldn't be difficult to make that stick.
And I wouldn't worry about the "50 Shades of Grey" association, since the pop culture fad already seems to be fading. Honestly, the most prolific association with the name Anastasia would have to be Princess Anastasia Romanoff, rumored for so long to have survived the massacre of her family (though she assuredly was killed).
Edit: I see a bunch of other people have already mentioned the ill-fated Romanoff...
