Correct Spelling - Stacy / Stasia?

LFK

29 Nov 2016 / #1

Hi,
My wife's name is Stacy. When she was younger her Polish grandmother would call her, and I'm going to spell this phonetically because that's the issue, "Stay-shoosha". We recently bought some property where we're building a house and I wanted to get her one of those wooden lawn signs for Christmas and I wanted to incorporate her childhood nickname into it. But I'm not sure of the proper spelling and so far any online searches have yielded nothing. If anyone might be able to help(or recommend a place to look) I would be eternally grateful.

Hey thanks,

But I wasn't looking for "Stacy" in Polish, rather the correct spelling of what sounds in English like "Stay-shoosha". I'm not sure if that translates to 'little Stacy" or what in English, but I was hoping for the proper Polish spelling.

That is exactly what you got. I don't know what is 'Stacy' in Polish nor do I care. You asked I delivered.

Wouldn't it be something like Stasiusia?

Martusia is a common diminutive of Marta.

Grab your Ouija board and ask her Granma for clarification. To my mind nobody Polish would call someone Stasiusia but in jest.

Ok, um, thanks then.

Your welcome.

It translates into "Stacy is p1ssing", "siusia" means he/she is p1ssing so now go get her that "Stejsiusia" sign, she'll be over the moon.

Huh? I thought that would be Stacy robi siusi or Stacy siusia

Steysiusia sounds more like P1ssy Stacy or Stace-p1ss or something like that, and I can easily imagine a slightly Americanized Polish person thinking that would be a cute nickname.

Stasiunia would be a preffered form I guess - I never heard Stasiusia to be honest

Can't anyone read here? The OP wasn't looking for a Polish equivalent of Stacey but rather trying to figure out what Stacey's grandmother called her. The best guess (since there is not equivalent to Stacey in Polish) is that the grandmother added a Polish diminutive to an abbreviated from of Stacey.

Stejsiusia (vocative, when calling or addressing her: Stejsiusiu) is the likely answer.

Stacy siusia

Indeed. Stace = Stacy

I can easily imagine a slightly Americanized Polish person thinking that would be a cute nickname.

I have never denied that.
