Dh and I were quite comfortable with Anastasia as a baby name for dd3 but with all of the hype for the 50 shades of grey movie we've realised its the same as the female lead.

Do you think of 50 shades for this name? Does it/ would it put you off?

Lovely name. Shame it has the 50 shades link now. You could use it but shorten to Annie or Anna.

No, it made me think more along the line of Russian princesses.

I think now, yes probably but in a few year's time, not so much.

Personally, I think it's a bit pretentious without being original (sorry)

I think of Russian aristocracy (in a good way).

Haven't read 50 shades but seriously think it will all blow over and be a distant memory in a few years. It wouldn't bother me.

I've never read the books or seen the film but yes, a baby born now and named that would make me wonder if they were a 'shades' baby.
