Anastasia, nickname Stacey

It seems from the archive that everyone hates the name Stacey/thinks it's dated/chavvy.

It's a serious contender if we have a girl and I'm not convinced it is chavvy, though perhaps dated.

We have a "St..." surname and quite like the alliteration.

We would not use Stacey on it's own, and with Anastasia there would be the possibility of other nicknames too... Ana/Anya etc.

Anyone got strong opinions either way?

I went to uni in the states in the 80's and every other girl was Stacey, so it's very much of an era for me. That said it'll be the grandma chic of the next decade! Lol

I know someone who is called Anastacia and is known as Stacey or Stacia. She is absolutely gorgeous and I think it's a lovely NN

I think that if you like Stacey you should use Stacey!
