Growing up, Disney’s [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] (1997) was my favorite animated movie.
I must have watched it over 1000 times. I know every word, can play every musical piece on the piano and violin. It still to this day, is my favorite Disney movie.
My great grandmother is from [name_f]Russia[/name_f], her mother would tell her all about the grand duchess [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] and how she believed that she escaped from being assassinated. So as you can see the name holds a little history for me.
[name_m]Even[/name_m] Fifty Shades of [name_u]Grey[/name_u] can not taint this name, at least not on my end.
So what are your thoughts on it? Any middle names you’d think would flow well?
I think it’s a beautiful name. I too like the film (I just watched it earlier today!) and I don’t think the Fifty Shades thing will even be in most people’s minds.
From your signature, I think [name_f]Petrova[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Zephyra[/name_f], [name_u]Vesper[/name_u], [name_m]Sol[/name_m], and [name_u]Zion[/name_u] would work beautifully.

I think [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] is very unique, spunky and pretty. Plus, while I would never use it because it isn’t MY style, it has many bonuses. Nicknames: [name_f]Ana[/name_f], [name_f]Asia[/name_f], etc. It is so elegant! It has a great tie for YOU. 
[name_f]Do[/name_f] what you love!
I really like it. Didn’t know it had any connection to 50 shades. The first thing I think of is my favorite girl in [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Sitters Club books! Which is why I like the nick name [name_u]Stacey[/name_u].
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] is beautiful! Undeniably gorgeous. I think it would be an excellent choice, especially given your personal connection with it. Timeless, historical, and aesthetically pleasing all around–truly one of the best names out there :).
Regarding middles, I think all of the names in your signature could work!
I like is looks absolutely gorgeous however when I say it to myself I immediately associate it with the ugly stepsister from [name_f]Cinderella[/name_f]! My favourite nickname for it would be [name_f]Ana[/name_f] :).

It’s pretty and I like that you have true, Russian, family connections to the name. It’s not my personal style but it sounds like the perfect name for you.
It’s a beautiful and classic name that transcends any single reference. From your signature, I think the following make great middles.
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_m]Sol[/name_m]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Zamora[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_u]Zion[/name_u]
I think [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] is a lovely name. It’s a bit of a mouthful, but not more so than [name_f]Josephina[/name_f], [name_f]Evangelina[/name_f], etc. Lots of of cute nickname potential, too. Plus, it has significance for you, so it sounds like a winning name.
On a side note-- [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] is not a Disney movie. =] It was made by [name_m]Fox[/name_m].
