I like this but I have a daughter called Ellen and don't know if Anastasia is too much and a mismatch.
What do you think?

I love it. Ana or Annie very cute as nicknames, too. I also know a grown up Anastasia who uses the nn Sia.

I don't think names need to 'go together' either. Choose your second child's names because you love it, just like you did with your first.

In that i assume you'd shorten it to Anna then actually it sounds ok... Ellen and Anna....mmmm nice

It's DH's favourite girl's name. I used to hate it but I have to admit it's growing on me, helped by the fact that the singer Anastasia is now largely forgotten. I don't think it's too much of a mismatch.

certainly a radical change of direction...
