LFK 29 Nov 2016 / #1Hi,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.Larry
OP LFK 30 Nov 2016 / #3Hey 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.
Ironside 50 | 12345 30 Nov 2016 / #4But I wasn't looking for "Stacy" in Polish, rather the correct spelling of what sounds in English like "Stay-shoosha".That is exactly what you got. I don't know what is 'Stacy' in Polish nor do I care. You asked I delivered.
Observvver 30 Nov 2016 / #6Wouldn't it be something like Stasiusia?Martusia is a common diminutive of Marta.
Ironside 50 | 12345 30 Nov 2016 / #7Wouldn't it be something like StasiusiaGrab 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.
Wulkan - | 3137 30 Nov 2016 / #8I'm not sure if that translates to 'little Stacy"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.
mafketis 37 | 10789 30 Nov 2016 / #9It translates into "Stacy is p1ssingHuh? I thought that would be Stacy robi siusi or Stacy siusiaSteysiusia 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.
gumishu 14 | 6202 30 Nov 2016 / #10Wouldn't it be something like Stasiusia?Stasiunia would be a preffered form I guess - I never heard Stasiusia to be honest
mafketis 37 | 10789 30 Nov 2016 / #11Can'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.
Wulkan - | 3137 30 Nov 2016 / #12Stacy siusiaIndeed. Stace = StacyI can easily imagine a slightly Americanized Polish person thinking that would be a cute nickname.I have never denied that.
