The Butler one is a real guess - Amity

I have come across Anastasia shortened to Anty in Ireland.

I thought it looked like Anty but thought it couldn't be so, which is why I went for the guess.

Thanks Dublin I've just had a look and you're right there's loads of Anty names and yes it's shortened from Anastasia.

Gadget I didn't even get Anty ;-)
