How do you pronounce Antonia?

  • An-ton-yuh (with the second syllable having a short ‘o’ sound)
  • An-Tony-uh
  • An-toh-niya

Or some other way?

Do you like it?

Ann-tone-yuh
Lovely name, it was on my shortlist for DD

An-toe-knee-ah very slight stress in the toe. Not a fan of it though.

Lovelyring · 22/03/2023 07:59

Ann-TOE-knee-ah

Yea I like it.

Santasoorplooms · 22/03/2023 07:58

2nd

don’t like it but only because I associate it with a nasty bully I went to school with a hundred years ago.

Third one but I really dislike it. Toni isn't a great nn

I'm struggling a bit with the difference between two and three in your examples but it's a lovely name. I'd say it An-tone-ee-ah which I think is your third one basically?

LadyWithLapdog · 22/03/2023 06:07

Gorgeous name. My niece is Uhn-to-nee-ya with all sounds equally stressed.

D0t · 22/03/2023 06:07

Anne tone ee Ah

D0t · 22/03/2023 06:06

Anne tone ee uh.

very cool name

ApolloandDaphne · 22/03/2023 05:59

The second one is how I would pronounce it. Maybe more Ann tone yuh

useitorlose · 22/03/2023 05:45

Second one. I wouldn't use it though because xh is called Anthony!

NoHeavenNoMore · 22/03/2023 05:44

I love this name. I want to be called Antonia

LindorDoubleChoc · 22/03/2023 05:17

Anne tone ee uh.

Lovely name. Are you quite posh? I think of it as a posh one.

CobraChicken · 22/03/2023 05:12

The second way (and yes, it's a nice name.)

Lemonandorange · 22/03/2023 05:09
