Help[Opinions] Antoinette
What do you think of this as a fn? What would you suggest as a mn? Thanks in advance. :)
What about any of these? I think Rei might flow the best...

Antoinette is fine, if not nearly as interesting to me personally as other Ant- names (Antonia, Antonina, Antonella, Antonelle, Antora, Antonetta, etc).
Antoinette Ivy
Antoinette Keiko
Antoinette Hana
Antoinette Suzume
Antoinette Suzuko
Antoinette Rhea
Antoinette Pola
Antoinette Zia
Antoinette Cassia (CASH-ah)
Antoinette Cora
Etc, etc. :)

I love Antoinette! I think it's good as a first name.

I like Antoinette. A cousin of mine is Adelaide Antoinette (nn Addie). I always liked Mr. Rochester's first wife's name, Bertha Antoinetta. For the mn, you want to avoid anything too fou-fou because of the Marie-Antoinette* image. How about:
Antoinette Alice (I like the alliteration)
Antoinette Verity
Antoinette Lily
Antoinette Sophie
Antoinette Lydia
Antoinette Lucy / Lucie
Antoinette Rosalind
Antoinette Blythe
Antoinette Christine
Antoinette Ines
Antoinette Pascale
Antoinette Thais
Antoinette Pearl
Antoinette Willa
Antoinette Phoebe
Antoinette Diane
OK, so maybe some of these are more fou-fou than not. I'm finding this a difficult task. I love KMF's suggestion of Antoinette Sylvia, by the way. Antoinette Sylvie would also be nice.
*I've read Ms. Frasier's biography of Marie-Antoinette and believe she's more of a scape-goat than a villan. But I'm afraid most people still have the negative association with the name. I still think you should use it, just be careful.

Thanks
These are great! :) You did had a better go at it than I did, haha, I came up with nada.
I didn't ever see Marie Antoinette as a villan, I was interested in her in school, but I do think a lot of people associate the name strictly with her as opposed to a name that someone might consider using. I don't mind the association completely, just..part of it? I don't quite know.

I love antoinette, but I also have no idea why.
In the middle name depratment I am no help though because all I can think of is Marie Antoinette, but not because of the movie, because I did a preject on her in my history class. So I doubt that many people would make the connection with the movie anyway.

I don't like Antoinette; I don't see it's appeal.
As for a mn, the first thing I thought of was Antoinette Sylvia.

I'm not sure why I like it to be honest, I just..do.
I don't think I'd ever use it, since the movie about Marie Antoinette came out and everything, and I wouldn't want the association to be strictly with her, the movie or just the historical figure. (I don't mind her so much or anything like that.) So I guess it's just a combo on my list. :)
