Russian speaker here. In Russian, the name is pronounced with the “see-ya” ending, and the stress is on “see”. Ah-nah-stah-SEE-ya. And yes, “Nastya” is a common diminutive.

I think of the singer Anastacia, who spells her name that way.

You should know the diminutive of Anastasia in Russian is Nastia, and I wouldn't wish this name on an American child.

I assume the parents are from a different cultural background and know that YOU are an idiot.

I’d think, oh gosh I hope I don’t mess this kid’s name up too badly when I talk to their parent.

No kidding. Anastacia isn't even close to the weirdest name in my dd's class. Even weirder is having half the girls named Olivia/Ava/Sophia. 3 Sophia's in her class alone. Why would anyone name their kid from the top 10 list of the past 5 years? I'd rather be named Hannastazzia than Sophia #485375 if I were in that age range. Geesh!

This. What am I supposed to be thinking?
+1. It’s really annoying to post cryptic threads.
