I went to grad school in Pittsburgh and knew a few women with this name and they were all of Polish ancestry.

I really don’t like it. I would think you were foreign or had bad taste.

What do you assume?

That her parents like the name? Very common Russian or Greek name.

This. What am I supposed to be thinking?

I have no associations, positive or negative.

I've known a Stacia and Staci whose formal names were Anastasia/Anastacia. They were both evangelical Christians and their parents presumably liked the "cross" aspect of the name.

Her parents are snobby.

We know an Anastacia, her dad is almost insufferable.

Or they have some Russian heritage.

Why?

Because they're taking to DCUM to talk sh!t about a CHILD'S name?

I must be missing something. I don’t know why people would assume anything about the parents, much less that they weren’t nice people.

My only association of the name is with the Russian princess. As a name, I would place it with a certain kind of elitism, in the sane genre as names like: Tiffany, Victoria, Regina, Maximillian, Augustus, Leopold, etc. I think Anastasia is one of the prettier names in this category. While I wouldn’t choose any of these names, I don’t judge them negatively.

Ugh. I assume the parents are idiots and don’t know how to spell Anastasia.
