Is Anthony destined to be Tony?

[Jj2431]

Just as the title says really..thanks

Not the ones I’ve ever met.

I know an Anton

In my experience they usually get Ant

My DH has never been called Tony although I do shorten it to Ant

My brother is Anthony, not once has he ever been called Tony!

I think it's generational - there aren't many Tonys under 50. He'll be Anthony or possibly Ant, depending on what his friends are like.

Wasn't Tony Benn an Anthony?

DH is an Antony (you've spelt it wrong btw ;) ), but is only ever Antony when he's in trouble...seriously though, you'll always get some people who shorten a name, whether you like it or not, but your child will decide what he wants to be called.

I've known a few Anthonys in school, none of them shortened to Tony.

Yes sleep, not a Tory, though
