Anastasia, Angelina and Maria

What are your thoughts on:

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Angelina[/name_f]
[name_u]Maria[/name_u]

What are your associations?

To me they are christmassy, but maybe that’s just me. I think of snow, ice skating, hot chocolate.

I was thinking:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Angelina[/name_f]

Thoughts?

Interesting. None of these are particularly Christmassy to me. [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] is definitely wintry but not necessarily [name_u]Christmas[/name_u].

[name_u]Maria[/name_u] is more late, rainy fall and [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] is more early, cool spring to me.

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] → stylish, elegant and sophisticated, a hint of the regal and a bit sparkly. It does remind me of ice/ice-skating and snow

[name_f]Angelina[/name_f] → bright and frilly but with an edge of sharpness too. It reminds me of ballet :person_shrugging:

[name_u]Maria[/name_u] → international, timeless vibes, Sound of [name_f]Music[/name_f], but a bit underwhelming (for me)

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] sounds nice and flows well!

I’d swap things up and make:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u]

[name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f]

[name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Angelina[/name_f]! So underused

Together, I picture a Slavic or Greek family. The sibset itself feels very Orthodox [name_u]Christian[/name_u]. Composed, standing, yet a bit lacey. Separately, [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] feels fierce and like a scarlet fire, [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] feels silent and more shy, yet snowy and bright, [name_u]Maria[/name_u] feels without frills and without buts, knowing what she wants.

I don’t really view any of them as Christmasy.

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] I think of this [name_f]Disney[/name_f] movie I used to watch as a kid that took place on a train. [name_u]Or[/name_u] it at least had a train in it? So I think of [name_f]Disney[/name_f] and trains.

[name_f]Angelina[/name_f] I think of a ballerina in a pink tutu dancing on a stage.

[name_u]Maria[/name_u] I think of religion and very traditional and conservative.
