Well, I'm not even pregnant so I can't 'go for' anything
But if I was I wouldn't use Antigone, I just know most of the people I know would pronounce it anti-gone plus it wouldn't go well with my other Dcs but I LOVE tiggy as a nn.

I would go for Antigone. Its a classic, old, beautiful name. And it has the option of being shortened to Annie or Tiggy.

VS, such a good choice of name

Traditionally, wasn't Tiggy a shortening for Elizabeth (don't ask me how by the way, I recognise that none of the letters are the same!)

I don't like Tegan.

Tegan - not exactly a shortening though!

Tiggy-Winkle?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Erm - don't know.
