Anastasia nicknames

I love the name Anastasia, but it is kind of a mouth full. I’d probably call her Anastasia most of the time but wondering if any cute nicknames I can use occasionally…

I like Ana/Annie, but my husband does not.

I love Anya, but I know someone whose daughter is named Anya already.

Any other suggestions? I was kind of thinking Asia, but not sure if that’s a stretch?

What do y’all think of Asia as a nickname for Anastasia? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

In the Betsy-Tacy books, Tacy’s full name is [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]. I’ve always thought that was so sweet. The books are adorable, by the way.

I also like [name_f]Ana[/name_f], [name_f]Stasia[/name_f], and [name_f]Sia[/name_f]. Anastasia’s so gorgeous!

I’ve never heard of that book series, but will have to check it out! How to you pronounce [name_f]Tacy[/name_f]?

It’s like [name_u]Stacy[/name_u] without the S :slightly_smiling_face:

how about nat, staska, natstazia, anina, or annie?

I love [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f]! I’m rather fond of [name_f]Nastia[/name_f] myself but it’s not terribly usable in [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking countries I suppose… I think Sisi/Cici/Cece, [name_f]Sissy[/name_f], [name_u]Nana[/name_u], Tasie, [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Sia[/name_f], Stacey/Stasie, etc, could also work! I’m quite fond of [name_f]Cici[/name_f] myself. :heart:

Stacey is cute, but I know many think it’s dated. Anya, Annie and Sia are all cute too.

Maybe [name_u]Story[/name_u]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Starry[/name_f]?

The traditional nicknames are [name_f]Anya[/name_f] and Nastya/Nastia. But you could also do Stasi, [name_f]Ana[/name_f], [name_f]Sisi[/name_f], or [name_f]Sia[/name_f]

Oh I do like [name_f]Asia[/name_f]!

Came here to say the same thing! :joy:

Asia definitely works, not too much of a stretch! It’s not my favorite personally though, I prefer Stasia. Maybe Nan/Nancy? It’s kind of a stretch but since they’re traditionally nicknames of Anne it might work.

Might be a stretch but [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] is a fave of mine for [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]

I can definitely see [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] and [name_f]Starry[/name_f] as nicknames for [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]. Compared to that [name_f]Asia[/name_f] is “normal” nickname

[name_f]Anya[/name_f] is lovely, I’m sorry you can’t use it.
[name_f]Asia[/name_f] is cool! Not a stretch at all.

I’m going to suggest [name_f]Tasha[/name_f] and [name_f]Sia[/name_f].
