What about Stacie or Stacy? Like or no?

[Anonymous]

Maybe the formal name could be Stacia but you call her Stacey? I'm not opposed to Stacey as a nickname but I don't think it's a good standalone name.

I know a Stacia who went by Stacie. Actually I think she still goes by Stacie.

really, really pretentious if you are not Russian.

Only if you pronounce it Ah-nahss-TAHSS-ya.

How else would you pronounce it? and what exactly are you pretending to be? (And don't say Russian, either. Nobody is pretending to be Russian, unlike all these 4th generations twits naming their kids Sèitheach and whatnot)

The Anastasia I know (who is not Russian) pronounces it Ann-uh-STAY-zhuh.

Can we add Anastasia, any pronunciation, to the pretentious name list? Good googly.

"-ie" is kind of ditzy, but I like Stacy.

I think you may have responded regarding my daughter's name, which has an -ie ending when the 2 better know spellings end in -y.

First of all, Anastasia is a Greek name, not Russian, despite what most people think. Second, what if you're a Catholic naming your DD after St. Anastasia? It is NOT a pretentious name if you actually know anything about the name.

No, it's not pretentious unless (as I said above) you know nothing about the origin of the name. It's actually somewhat common among Catholics (for St. Anastasia).

It's an actual name. I've known one.

I went to a catholic HS and didn't know one.

I've known a Greek and a Russian Anastasia, but they both went by Stacy.

Amen.

STACEY!!!!!!!!!!

+1. But I think the most common spelling is Stacy, but I might be wrong. Look up on the SSA site and use whichever spelling is the most popular. It sucks to have to tell people every time how to spell your name differently.

I disagree about the "more common spelling"

There are lots of names with multiple accepted spellings. Katherine/Catherine for example. My husband is a BrYan, not a BrIan. So, this is going to happen whether you give what is currently the more popular spelling or not.
