Help[Opinions] Anastasia and Anina
I absolutely love the name Anastasia, but I don't like any of the Russian pet forms of it (Nastya, Nastenka, Nastasia). I'm ambivalent towards Anya as I'm most used to seeing it as a pet form of Anna, plus I've corrected many people in the past who've thought it was a pet form of Anastasia. I could see it as a 'doable' nickname, but at the moment I'm just not feeling it (hippy lingo ;)).
Which brings me to Anina. I love Anina, which is an Aramaic (dialect of Hebrew) name meaning 'answer my prayer'. However, lately I've gone against all that I've held holy in regards to my self-constructed naming theory and have warmed up to the thought of using Anina as a possible pet name for Anastasia. Do you think Anina would be too far-fetched as a pet name for Anastasia? Would you think it strange to use Anina as a pet form even though it has no etymological ties (no connection whatsoever) to Anastasia?
Thanks for your input. :)
