[Opinions] Re: Anastasia and Anina
I really adore both! Anastasia is beautiful, and Anina is great, I've never heard it before! I also love Anya. I really don't think the 'origin matching' matters, a nn should be whatever it turns out to be. I mean, look at mine for example: Braelyn nn Lulu. Thinking about it, it doesn't make any sense! But after a person gets to know me, tthey understand why. So weather it's sound or looks or personality or WHATEVER, it will work. (In my eyes)Also, if you love Anina, why not use it as a fn? It dosen't seem like it is strictly a nn. What about... Anina Jane? Anina Lilac? Anina Katharine? After this post, I am SO adding Anina to my list by the way! :)

Anina Lilac brought a smile to my face because one of my favourite Hebrew combos is Anina Lilach (lee-lahkh), Lilach meaning 'you are mine'. It's also the Hebrew word for lilac. I do happen to like Anina Lilac. :) The names look absolutely beautiful together. I also live Aviva Lilac, but it sounds very themey as Aviva means 'spring'. I'm glad you like Anina so much. :) It's a simple yet charming little name.
