I chose Staci as my female name because it is the closest thing to a female version of my male name, Stanley. Here is how I arrived at Staci:
Stanislaus is the Slavic derivation of Stanley/Stanley is the English derivation of Stanislaus
Anastacia is the feminine derivation of Stanislaus
Staci is short for Anastacia
I'm not sure if these derivation of names is perfectly correct, but it is best I could come up with.
Last week, I discovered another and more direct feminine derivation of Stanley.
First, I found a postcard on eBay depicting a female impersonator named Stana Behavy (above left). Next, when updating my
Famous Females of Height list, I found out about television actress
Stana Katic (above right).
So, you can call me Stana.
You fand the name Stana relatively early, so how came it that there was so much time between finding the name and really using it?
