Most Anthonys I know end up going by Anto, but I think it's a Dublin thing

I misread it as a Tory, which was confusing. I have taught Anthonys and they were never abbreviated. It might be a regional thing though.

I don’t think it’s inevitable. I know 3 men with the name. 2 are always known as Anthony. One is always Ant.

I know 3: One is a Tony, one an Ant and the other is only ever called Anthony!

I know several Anthonys.
Some are Tony, some are Antony, several are Ant and a couple are AnTHony. Not keen on Ant, and AnTHony sounds wrong.

Anton is ok.

The only Anthony I know is Ant

TotesGodsWill · 23/02/2020 18:26

Most of the Anthony’s I know go by Ant rather than Tony so no Tony isn’t inevitable

I’ve known 3 Anthonys.

1 is always Anthony, 1 is Ant, one is Tony.

So I don’t think it’s inevitable.

I have a colleague who is only ever Anthony and I have known a couple who just use that name with no shortening.
