Hi, baby is due any day and I'm really undecided on her name. I've loved Anya (but with an ahn not Ann! ) sound for years but have been a bit put off because everyone pronounces it Ann ya and I don't want to give her a burden she has to correct or seem pretentious.
I've thought about Anastasia, Annalise and Ariana as alternatives but they all have the Ann English sound rather than the Russian I prefer so don't really solve my problem.
Does anyone know of a girl's name Anya is nickname for, where the pronunciation is more in keeping with the Russian than the Anglicised version? I know there's Aine but to me that seems a totally different sound and I am not as keen on the spelling.
Please help!
