Antonia

[xXjunebugXx]

What are your opinions on this name? Do you think Annie would work for short?

[BunnyLebowski]

Annie is beautiful (and on my list for this DC) but I really dislike Antonia. I just don't think it sounds very nice.

Plus I have an irrational dislike of feminised male names.

Annie on it's own gets my vote.

[Withknobson]

Love it, beautiful under used name. Can't say I'm over keen on nn Annie though. Why not just use the full name?

[OhCaptainDarling]

Like the name, but I don't think Annie would work for short at all.

What about Toni?

The girls I know with this name has nn which have nothing to do with real name. Like Coco or Sissy etc.

[salvadory]

Lovely name and I really like Annie. Not keen on Toni just because it feels more 80's and therefore a little dated.

[mumbaisapphirebluespruce]

Antonia is nice. Don't think you need to shorten it at all. Annie seems more of a nickname for someone called Anne.

[juneybean]

I have a friend called Antonia and she gets called Toni.

[Withknobson]

With mine and Bunny's completely opposing views, we're not much help to you.

[ThursdayLast]

Love it,
Use Annie while you get to choose, give your DD scope for something different as she gets older

[xXjunebugXx]

I really dislike Toni. Of course I would call them Antonia but I know I'd end up shortening it like I did with my sons name. I think Antonia is beautiful but dislike Tonia, Tonia Nia and so on. I thought Annie sounded OK with it and sweet for a baby.

I am team yellow! Just love this name :)

[harryhausen]

Love Antonia. Love Annie too.

I have a good friend called Antonia so I only have good feelings about the name. She's very clever and loyal.

[procrastinatingagain]

Really like Antonia. Annie would work as a nickname too, I think

[SecretWitch]

Love Antonia! What a pretty name.

[Bigbrassband]

It's lovely. Anna would work for short, I think.

[HoratiaDrelincourt]

I like it; I think it would work; I know one known as Anty though. She's ace.

[hoppinghare]

I like antonia. It doesn't need shortened but annie works. Annie is lovely as well.

[starlight1234]

My friend has a daughter Antonia now grown ..she was called Toni for short..love the name

[walkdowntheavenue]

Not a big fan, know a few and they're shorted to Toni or anto

[Pinkandwhite]

I love the name - so pretty and elegant. You could definitely shorten it to Annie - another fab name.

[mathanxiety]

Lovely, and Annie works as a nn.

[ZingChoirsOfAngels]

wonderful name and I knew a wonderful person named
Antonia.
she was my after school teacher when I was ten.
she was just amazing, treated us as friends and installed in me a love for sewing and crafts - she taught me how to cross-stitch etc.

she was perfectly lovely and the only reason I didn't choose Antonia for DD as it is pronounced differently in English (from Hungarian) which I don't like, plus I'd hate her to be nickamed Toni by others

but Annie is a great nickname, so go for it!

[chickydoo]

My favourite person in the world is called Antonia.
Lovely, elegant name.

[greeneyes1978]

Both the Antonias I know both lovely people but they are both known as Toni.

[BuntyPenfold]

I know one, never called anything for short.

It's a lovely elegant name.

[hawkmcqueen]

Antonia is lovely but I REALLY dislike Toni, it's one of those names that provokes irrational anger! I don't know if you could wholly avoid her peers using it.

[IsabellaRockerfeller]

Antonia is lovely but the Antonias I know are all known as Toni which I don't like!
