advice plz! we are 8 months pregnant with a girl (so time running out on this lol) and the Mrs and I can't agree on the spelling of our little lassie's name. She says Tony (but that sounds like a boys name lol) and I say Toni (which she says sounds "classless"). help!!!

Antonia is a beautiful name, Toni is a great nn.

Not keen on either. But it's Tony for a boy. And worse Toni for a girl. But Antonia is a good option.

I like Antonia but really dislike Toni.

So that way she wouldn't have to be Toni if she didn't want to

Tony is a boys name.
Toni or better still Antonia nn Toni.

As above. Toni for your girl.

Agree - Tony for a boy, Toni for a girl. Don't like the name at all, but I do like Antonia, and it would give her another option.

Tony is a boy, Toni is a girl. It’s not “classless” - I know a very posh lady called Antonia who goes by Toni.

Toni for a girl

Antonia ->Toni for a girl.

SingleWontMingle · 22/12/2020 16:58

I really don't like the name.

ThatchersGapingVag · 22/12/2020 16:57

Neither. It's my name. I absolutely hate it.

I know 2 others with this name who also hate it, 1 male 1 female.

I personally am not a big fan of Tony/Toni for a girl but if I were you I would spell it Toni. Tony definitely says boy to me.

Toni for a girl, Tony for a boy.
