Pregnant w a girl and having a hard time deciding between these two. We are Hispanic, live in the USA. These can be said in multiple languages which is what we want. Last name is short 2 syllables and Italian but usually said in English - all to say, both names go w the last name.

HELP AND THANK YOU!

Eleonora. I can’t get past Nasty nor the Anastasia screamed in pain lyric from Sympathy for the Devil.

Anastasia is better.
I like the name Eleanor (pronounced Elena) but Eleanora sounds too fussy and I don’t like the Nora bit.

Anastasia for sure.
If Eleanora I prefer it spelt that way but Anastasia is lovely

Anastasia is beautiful!

Both are nice but think I prefer Anastasia. It also has nice shortenings - Anna, Annie, Asia, Anya, Stacey, Stacia.
knew a Russian Anastasia who went by Nasty, would probably avoid that one in an English speaking country

Eleanora

Do you have a preference for what people will shorten them too? People might use Ellie or Ana.

While I don’t encourage the shortening of our names it’s happens

Eleanora, such a pretty and classy name.
