yeah, it's the Anti-Gone (which sounds like a cleaning product) that turns me off of it's real life use. But, I love the sound and history of it and if I had a SO who was equally as adventurous as I in naming, and he really lovde it, I'd still totally use it.

Antigone Fawn is my GP combo :)

Back when it might have been a possibility, dh and I kicked around baby names. Antigone was one of them. He loved the story of Antigone and I loved the sound -- Tiggers was my nn as a child. The spelling is part of its charm; Greek names have a fascinating look to them.

It looks like the brand name of some cleaning product. However I do like the sound of it, it's fun to say. Ultimately, it sounds better than it looks.

Antigone but pro-arrival, eh? It does sound good, but starting a name with Anti- anything is probably not a good idea. I knew a little Antoinette once who was called Anti, and she had a positive personality but it still brought me up short every time.

I like Antigone, but love Antigona (wish it was usable where I live).

I'm not crazy about the "tig" sound, but I still find it intriguing. It seems better suited as a middle name.

It's a huge GP for me. I'm not fond of the background and I don't find it -conventionally- pretty, but it's lovely. I think it's interesting and eye-catching, a nice name, but I wouldn't use it on a real person.

I might name a cat or rabbit Antigone. I kind of like that... a child... not as a first name, possibly but probably not as a middle name. I still like it, though.

I like it, but I wouldn't name a child Antigone.

I love it. It doesn't bother me that it looks like Anti-Gone.

A great NN would be Tiggy, or Tig.
