Anastasia?

What are your thoughts on [name]Anastasia[/name]?

If I named my child this, do you have any middle name suggestions?
I like strong, short, yet feminine names.

Nicknames for [name]Anastasia[/name]:
[name]Ana[/name] ([name]Ah[/name]-Nah): Would honor my grandmother [name]Anne[/name].
Tasi (‘Ta’ as in tag or ‘Ta’ as in [name]Tam[/name]): The problem is, one of my nicknames is [name]Jazzy[/name]
Sia: I know this is a singer, but I adore the name and it would honor my grandmother [name]Patricia[/name].
[name]Asta[/name]: Its in the name, but I’m not entirely sure about it.

Middle Names:
[name]Blanche[/name]: Not a huge fan of this, but its the sort of name I like.
[name]Blythe[/name]: Same as [name]Blanche[/name].
[name]Quinn[/name]: This my brother middle name, and would honor him.

Thanks in advance…

I think [name]Ana[/name] would be the best nickname, then maybe Tasi, but I don’t care for the others. I think [name]Anastasia[/name] needs a more feminine name paired with it. I don’t think [name]Blanche[/name], [name]Blythe[/name] or [name]Quinn[/name] do it any justice but that’s just my opinion. :slight_smile: I like:

[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name] Lynae
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Kristine[/name]

I like [name]Anastasia[/name] and think [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] or [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] or even [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Bliss[/name] be beautiful.

[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] is perfect, I think. I have a friend who was adopted from [name]China[/name] named [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] who goes [name]Asia[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. It’s probably not very fitting for you though. I think that [name]Stace[/name] is a cute nickname. I really like Sia too.

[name]One[/name] of my daughter’s best friend is named [name]Anastasia[/name] nn Stasi (almost 5). Personally, I would have gone with the nickname of [name]Ana[/name] or even [name]Annie[/name], but Stasi suits her!

From your list, I like [name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]. Also love the suggestion of [name]Jane[/name] for a middle.
