Sorry

| I think of the Russian princess. I know of one woman named Anastasia
but she has always gone by the nickname, Stacy. If it were my name
I would try to avoid nicknames.

| My college roomate named her daugher Anastacia Marie, and they call
her Anna for short. If they had had a boy, the name would have
been Henry Austin Spang X (his family is trying to get to Henry
the Eighth).

| My Mom's name is Anastasia Marie, her maiden name was Botticelli.
I always thought it was an Italian name.
Anyhow, I think it's a beautiful name. My daughter plans to name
her daughter (in a few years - she's only 16) after her grandmother,
and that makes me very proud.

| I have a Greek friend named Anastasia, she's living in Grece, and
I always thought it was a Greek name. I might be wrong...

| Anastasia is from the Greek -- it's the feminine form of
Anastasius, and is from the word "anastasis," meaning
resurrection. It was the name of a 4th century saint.
It's most commonly associated with the Princess Anastasia,
one of the Romanovs. She was murdered with the rest
of her family, but there's a Bermuda Triangle type rumor
that's gone around ever since then that she's still alive.
In fact, I believe there was a movie about it (Ingrid
Bergman?), which probalby helped popularize the name.
Personally, I think it's a pretty but incredible mouthful
to give any woman short of an arch-duchess. And with such
a long and formal name, don't count on your daughter being
called anything other than Stacy (which I think is pretty
anyway).

| Also, wasn't Anastacia one of the mean step-sisters in Cinderella?
That's what it makes me think of...sorry
