Just out of curiosity, is the "Disney" pronunciation Ann-nuh-stay-zhuh, while the Russian pronunciation is Ann-nuh-stah-see-yuh?
And (wink) when we're talking about Disney uses of the name, I assume we're talking about Cinderella's wicked step sister, Anastasia, right? The animated movie "Anastasia" is a Don Bluth film, not Disney. (wink!)
In answer to the OP's question: We moved our children's birth names to their middle names and gave them new first names. Regardless of who named them, we felt that their name was part of them and didn't want to remove it completely. (We adopted young toddlers though, so it's not the same situation you're talking about). We are happy with our decision.
