I love this name. It is my first name, and I am very proud of it. Everyone I have ever met has also loved it and commented on what a pretty name it is. My nickname is "Staci", derived from the middle part of the name.

The name is pretty in Russian, but in English, it sounds a bit tacky. It doesn't sound foreign, I'm not saying that, as it sounds like a combo of Anna and Stacia, but the ending of this name sounds almost ghetto to me.
