Help[Opinions] Re: Anastasia
in reply to a message by Siri
Language is fluid, and the American / English pronunciation you mentioned is well established, so it's not "incorrect" ... just a linguist's niggle I have.
Anyway, I don't expect ahna-STAH-see-a would cause you massive problems. It's not as if you're taking a name people hear every day (like Michael) and pronouncing it a different way. A lot of people will be tentative pronouncing Anastasia, and ask for confirmation anyway. I like Marisol, but with Anastasia it's just too long a combo imo, and so has no flow.
