[Opinions] Re: Anastasia and Anina
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
I like Anina, but it will probably be shortened as well to something like Ani, wouldn't you think?
My mom loved Anastasia and liked Stacy (early 80s) so I ended up with Stacia. Most people ask if it's short for Anastasia. So there is another possibility :o) I have a friend who thinks Stasia sounds better, so that's what she calls me anyway.

I've heard of several Stacy/Staceys whose more formal name is Anastasia. That's a plausible choice. The 'Babysitter's Club' character Stacy McGill's character's more formal name is Anastasia.
It probably wouldn't be shortened to Ani (but I won't put it passed anyone), but I can see someone trying to shorten it to Nina. I know a little boy named Ariel and his name is almost always shortened to Ari. So, there's always the chance. :)
