Anastasia

[Rattanpenis]

Too much or ok

Ok if you are Russian. Too much if not.

Lovely. Elegant and sophisticated.
Option for Anna too.
Love it.

Completely love it from my childhood reading a book about Anastasia krumpnik ( I think that's the proper spelling)

Really like it.

Love it

Live it, even if you're not Russian (especially considering the name is Greek in origin op)

Love*

Was on my list for DD.

Luckily we didn't use it as there were two others in her year at school (although both have now left)! and DD didn't much like either of them.

The one thing that really put me off is that DH suggested people might use Stacey as a nn and I really hate the name Stacey.

Are you a devout Catholic?

@GlitterGlueGun Not religious in the slightest thankfully but I'm sure many parents who name their kiddo Matthew or Anna etc aren't religious either..

I like it but prefer Anna

I really like it

I don't know why I think that about Anastasia. I suppose it's random, I can think of three, two nuns one v religious.

I love it. Anna is also very classical

I love it

I like it.

It's a stunning name but much too fussy for me.

I think it's a great, strong female name with nice abbreviation options. Beats the hell out of simpering cutesy names like Poppy and Belle!

Love it!
Btw you don't have to be Catholic,orthodox russian or russian to use a name

Lovely

Lovely
And lots of nickname/ shorter name options too.

Beautiful. Nice meaning too.

I like it - I find Anastasia glamorous and slightly exotic. I was a bit worried the "50 Shades" thing had spoilt it, but it doesn't seem to have affected the name. I'd use the nickname Anya for it though, rather than dated Stacey (and with a 5 syllable name I think you will have to pick a nickname).

I like it.

And yes, Anastasia Krupnik! She was such a fun, quirky and unique character. Loved those books growing up.
