How do you pronounce "Anthony"?

[Questi0ns]

"AnTony" or "AnTHony"?

[SunnyBaudelaire]

antony

[FunkyPeacock]

I've met people who do both - neither is wrong

I only like it with a hard T sound

The spelling should give you a clue!

[SnotQueen]

Me: AnTony
Italian American Mamma living in the Bronx circa 1987: AnTHony

[Questi0ns]

I'm not from the UK but the child will grow up here. Husband who is British says you spell it "Anthony" but British people would pronounce it "AnTony". I just want to verify if that's the case as I don't want the child to be constantly having to correct it. We would prefer to use the "Anthony" spelling for family reasons..

[burgatroyd]

Anthony!

[burgatroyd]

If I had D's this WOULD have been his name.

[BeeInYourBonnet]

I say Antony.
My Northern irish friends say AnTHony.

[JasperDamerel]

Antony. But the Tony but it more Tunny than Tony.

[SanityClause]

In Australia, it's AnTHony, too. (Probably because of all the Irish political prisoners, if that's how it's pronounced in Northern Ireland.)

But now, living in SE England, I would assume it was pronounced Antony, if I saw it.

[superram]

From the ne, AnTHony, work in London, Antony.

[Penguinotterfoxbadger]

I would say Antony (I'm from the home counties originally). No idea if that's correct though!

[wigglesrock]

I say An Th Ony, to me Antony is a different name, spelt differently. I'm in NI.

[TooBusyByHalf]

Se England it's an-to-nee unless you're posh when it's an-t-ni
An-th-nee is Irish, Aussie, or maybe northern in my head.
Spelling it without the h is just wrong!

[Marcipex]

I'm in the UK, I'd say Antony.

[AuntieStella]

AnTony.

But Aussie friends say AnTHony.

[HapShawl]

However Anthony wants it to be pronounced

[ovenchips]

I think its pronunciation varies regionally in UK, while spelling remains the same. I am in the Anthony camp (NE England), my DH is very much Antony (SE).

[florascotia]

Logically, it would be pronounced Ant-own-ee, since it originates from a Roman name, Antonius. In English spelling, the 'h' was not added until after around 1600. (Shakespeare didn't use it for 'Antony and Cleopatra' or for Mark Antony in 'Julius Caesar'.) But, as previous posters have said, there are now regional - global! - variations and preferences.

[FlappertyFlippers]

Ant toe knee

[Smidge001]

I would spell it with the H and say it Antony.

[OwlBeeBack]

Ann toe knee

[ClashCityRocker]

Interesting. I'd say Antony but I've known both - but the Anthony I knew was from the NE.

[StampysLoveGarden]

antony.

is that name coming back in to fashion? i'm not ready for it on a baby.

[HellKitty]

NE and Anth-un-nee. I know one, his mum wanted the 'H' so he wouldn't be known as an Ant.

[OatcakeCravings]
