Anastasia but I am a sucker for Slav names.

stressedespresso · 27/06/2024 20:30

Anastasia by far. Gorgeous nickname potential too with Anna, Issy, Stas etc!

Emmeline pronounced EMM-LEEN sounds silly sorry @mommyandmore And everyone will pronounce it EMMA-LEEN.

Anastasia is nice but will get shortened to Anna.

Meredith is my fave from those 3, so it's Meredith for me. Smile

timoteigirl · 27/06/2024 20:51

Never heard of any Anastasia being called Anna! That is no reason not to use it. Also never heard of Emmeline pronounced EMM-LEEN?!

'Stas' sounds awful! 😖 Haven't heard Anastasia shortened to Issy before either... It would get shortened to Anna though.

Springadorable · 27/06/2024 20:51

Meredith because that's not how Emmeline is commonly pronounced.

Thanks for insulting my niece. Each to their own

Ispywithmylittlepie · 27/06/2024 21:01

I like them all. Favourite is Anastasia.

KirstenBlest · 27/06/2024 21:03

@stressedespresso , @FeelingHotHotHotFeelingHotHotHot wasn't insulting your niece and Stas makes me think of Stasi, which is awful.

Meredith

Shyshay · 28/06/2024 06:17

Meredith! Was our first choice for a DD, never got to use it with our 4 DS's though!

KnickerlessParsons · 28/06/2024 06:26

Emmeline (pronounced EmmLEEN

Emmeline isn't and won't be pronounced EmmLeen though.
If you're going to use it, spell it how you want it pronounced.

Otherwise it's like calling a child Mark and pronouncing it Mork.

@Shyshay , it's a surname from a boy's name.

mommyandmore · 28/06/2024 20:47

Thanks so much for your replies. I still love them all so keeping them and will decide nearer the time. Also, thanks to those who have told me how Emmeline is pronounced 🤦🏼‍♀️ I really like it though! Which do you think sounds the best for a professional setting? Who knows what they'll become but I'd like to give them the best chance with a good, solid name. Thanks so much once again.
