Antoinette sounds like hair spray to me for some reason. It makes me think of the scent of hair spray and of big hair--the big hair bit is probably Marie Antoinette's fault. In all, I like Antonette, Antonetta, and Antonia all much more. Antoinette is all right, too, though.

Names that I think sound all right with Antoinette:

---

Laure Antoinette
Elise Antoinette
Pearl Antoinette
Ruby Antoinette
Lily Antoinette
Louise Antoinette
Rachel Antoinette
Estelle Antoinette
Cleo Antoinette / Clio Antoinette
Sylvie Antoinette
Christine Antoinette
Lucy Antoinette / Lucie Antoinette
Sophie Antoinette
Audrey Antoinette
Lacey Antoinette
Rosemary Antoinette
Tacey Antoinette
Joy Antoinette

I'd rather see a short name paired with it--and one that doesn't end in an A, N, or "ette" sound--since Antoinette is so long. I'm not sure what sort of tastes your friends might have, so I tried to include a range of choices.
