Short one-syllable middles like Eli, Eva, Eve keep the full name crisp — especially useful when Anastasia already has weight of its own.

Check the full monogram — A._. — for unintended words on stationery and bags. Otherwise initials rarely matter day to day; parents notice much more than kids do.
