I'm looking for the traditional Russian ways someone would address a person named Anastasia. I know some on the topic, but want to make sure I get the correct forms. What a boyfriend would call her, teachers, friends, as many different possibilities as you can provide, please. Thanks so much for your help!
Could someone please give me as many of the Russian diminutive forms of Anastasia as possible?

The most common short form would be Nastya (Настя).
Also these are widely used: Nastyenka (Настенька), Nastyushka (Настюшка), Nastyona (Настёна), Nastykha (Настюха), Stasya (Стася which is I guess the Russian way of saying Stacy).
Then there's also Nastasya (Настасья), Asya (Ася), Nata (Ната) [or Natochka](Наточка). These are given names of their own, but are still often for Anastasia.
There are many others because Russian allows to transform and shorten names basically any way you like ;) but these are the most popular forms
Hope this helps :)
