We found out about 2 weeks ago that the baby on the way is a little girl.  We've chosen the name Anastasia Sophia, but lots of people(mainly family members... mainly my mom and my MIL) are expressing their extreme dislike of the name.  Is it really that terrible?  The biggest complaint is that it's a long name for a little girl.  My feeling is that the name should be appropriate as an adult, as she can always go by a nickname as a child.  The name has plenty of nicknames like Ana/Anna, Annie, or Stazi.

The siblings are Tristan Gwydion and Richard Joseph(who goes by RJ since he's a third).

Keep in mind while bashing names that some of us are stuck with those names. :P

I can think of a lot trashier names, for the record. Didn't we see a whole list of stripper-ish names a while back?

I do love the name Anastasia, in any case, and I like Anna as a nickname better than Stacey.

Didn't say the people with those names are trashy, just the name.

It's a personal thing..I get called Stacey all the time and it drives me mental. People don't hear my name properly (Sophie). Opinions on names are only that, opinions :-)

I wasn't really upset, no worries. I also dislike my name.

People also don't hear Stacey properly. I get Tracy, Lacey, Stephanie (?!?), Cece...and more. It's ridiculous.

Cece.. thats a cool name..

and for the record, I also dislike mine.
