but it's her own name, so it's pronounced however she decides...?

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah but going forward if you're gonna go into telling the origin of the name then don't be surprised when someone who knows more tells you it's off.

except it's really Gráinne not Grain. and the Irish pronunciation is better.

[nigelwitthebrie]

Agreed the Irish pronunciation sounds so much prettier….whereas the pronunciation of grain is I think of rice and it makes me hungry.

My name is Anastasia. As I'm an American, I've always used the common American pronunciation ae-Nah-STAES-Yah. The traditional Eastern European pronunciation is ae-Nah-STEY-ZHah. I went to grad school with a Ukrainian girl and she used that.

[blood_pressures]

the traditional eastern european pronunciation is more like Anasta-SEE-yah

There is an audio file with the right pronunciation in Russian.
