Antonia

Antonia, for sure. I loved the book "My Antonia" by Willa Cather.

Leonora is too lion for me.

I really like both, though Leonora looks incomplete to me as opposed to Eleonora.

Leonora!!

Antonia is pretty, absolutely, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Leonora. It’s the name I want to name my second daughter, if we ever have another one (even though it’s quite trendy here).

It's a sometimes favorite with a lot of spunk. Antonia is too dull for me.

I love both, but I love Leonora more than Antonia today.

Leonora. I never liked Antonia.

Love the meaning of Antonia. I prefer Liora to Leonora.

I don't much enjoy lion names for male or female use - Lionel is the worst, but Leonard isn't good either, and I could just about live with Leo but there'd have to be very good reasons. And Leonora looks as if it falls into that category, even if it doesn't. I love Eleanor and Elinor, but Leonora ... nope.

So, Antonia! I prefer it to Antoinette, and I prefer its rhythm to the rhythm of Leonora. I'm not keen on Tony or Toni, so I'd think twice about using any name that might turn into one of them IRL. But Antonia would make a stylish mn.

It's more melodic and romantic. I love Antonia, though, which is also melodic and romantic.
