I immediately think of Tonya Harding.

I think I like Tania more than Tanya and Tonya. Tanja is cool, too.

It6's pretty but everyone will think of Tonya Harding. Take that as you will.

It is spritely and down to earth at the same time, which is a juxtaposition that I like. When I was a kid, I remember looking up Tonya in a name book and reading that it meant "fairy queen." According to BtN, it doesn't mean that at all, but I wish it did since it fits in with how I see the name.

Prefer Tonia; prefer Antonia even more

I find it (and Tanya) trashy in a very satisfying way. Both names seem very catty and gossipy. Tonya also strikes me a downtrodden but tough as nails kind of name.

Don't really like it

I was obsessed with this name for a while when I was 17. Not sure why honestly I think because it is a very sharp sound. In the present I still like it okay, it's still better than Toni as a diminutive of Antonia/etc. but its no longer my favorite middle aged mom name.

I think, it's boring. It could be short for Antonia, Antonina, Antoinette, Antonella?
Well, it's still not my cup of tea.
