[Opinions] Anastasia
I just watched the true crime story about murdered mail order bride Anastasia King and began to really like the name. Wdyt of Anastasia and Ana?

Anastasia is gorgeous but too princessy. Ana looks too short for some reason, as opposed to Stasia, Stacy or Annie/Anna.
I love Anastasia. Ana is *fine* but pretty boring imo. I prefer the eastern nicknames…Stasya, Nastya, Asya…I even like Ani over Ana.

I think Anastasia is very nice and I love the meaning. I’d probably prefer it for a mn myself, but it is lovely.
Nice enough name. The Anastasia I know usually goes by Stacy.
Like it, but I prefer the spelling Anastacia because of the singer.
I love the name Anastasia!
I have known an Anastasia known as Ana and her sister was Elisabeth known as Lisa. I like Anastasia and Ana too as nickname and a name in itself. Two of my fellow brownie leaders are from Brazil and Peru, Ana and Abril so I have positive associations with Ana.

I like Anastasia but not a fan of Ana as a nickname.
Don’t like it too much. I liked the movie as a kid but always preferred the nickname Anya.
Anastasia is beautiful! Ana, not really big on the spelling and not a fan of the name on its own either.
