1. Could I use Anya as a name on its own?
Anastasia doesn't fit; I need a short name.No. It's too cutesy and insbustantial and using nicknames as full names is a practice I hate. It's traditionally a nickname for Anna, but Annabel or Anneliese would work too.2. Anya or Reine to go with Liv?Anya if it's a nickname but Reine if you'd just go with Anya. For the record, I prefer Liv as a nickname too. I'd adore a sibset of Anna / Annabel / Anneliese and Olivia / Lavinia / Livia / Liviana "Anya and Liv"!3. Any other short, unusual names you can suggest?Zara
Eve
Petra
Clara
Camille
Mara
Elena
Eleni
Iris
Mila
Mina
Lila
Leila
Hana (HAH-nah)
Camille
Jane
Rose
Mary
Rosa

Considering my name is Hannah, I didn't want to use Anna as it's a variation of my own name.
Anastasia is too long a name really to go with my long mns, but I do know what you mean.
Thankyou for your input!

DuhHow did I miss that? It's right there in your username! I think you could get away with using Anya as a nickname for anything ending in -ana, though those tend to be a bit long. Adriana, Eliana, Mariana, Juliana, Liliana....
