Having DS2. My dad is called Tony. He has been a big huge support in my life and DS1. Is it too outdated?

I love Antonio nn Tony

Given how popular Toby is in comparison, he'll be correcting people quite often as more people will consider Toby as a name of his generation, as it were as opposed to Tony which while classic is not a name I've heard of in anyone under the age of about 35.
My uncle is Anthony, known as Tony. I love the full name. Certainly time for a comeback.

Not sure on Tony itself. I love Anthony, though.

@Whatsyourflava conflicted to using Tony on the BC or Antonio. I love both!

I think it's nice
Nobody bats an eyelid at Toby.
Tony would be lovely to hear in the playground. Do it! You'll regret it if not, especially as it's a special name with meaning.

Outdated.

BrokenBrit · 30/06/2020 20:21

Yes go for it Antonio or Anthony are both nice names and lend themselves well to Tony as a NN.

Love it.

I think it's fantastic! Tony is such a cute nickname for a small boy , and he'll still have other options as he grows...

I like it and think it's time it made a comeback!

Yes it's definitely outdated. Maybe it could be the middle name?
