Help[Opinions] Re: Anastasia
in reply to a message by NeedCoffee
Although popular in Russia, Anastasia is actually a Greek name that means "resurrection." Do you happen to have any Greek blood between the two of you? No matter. I don't think one has to be of the same ethnicity to enjoy and use a name. And as far as Anastasia McKenna goes, it's a little long but I actually prefer it to Ana/Anna McKenna.
Other questions answered:
1. It's not too Disney or Dreamworks. Wasn't it Dreamworks?
2. It doesn't sound like the name of a stripper. It sounds refined and elegant to me.
3. Anastasia doesn't sound snotty, just cultured and princessy.
4. I pronounce it ah-na-STAH-see-a. In the US, I would think ann-a-STAY-sha would be the most common pronunciation, but I really think it depends on where one lives. And there are several "valid" ways to pronounce the name. Don't worry about that.
If you love it, go for it. ;-)
