HelpAh, okay.
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
I'd considered that; offhand I could only think of two Anthonys I knew my age, one of which was born in France so he wouldn't have made a blip on the American naming scene anyway. I've always lived in lower-middle to middle class predominantly white rural areas, so it would make sense, then, if I hadn't seen it too much, if it's most popular in another demographic.
My closest experience with Anthony having any kind of noticeable popularity (and Raymond, for that matter) is that it tended to be used in my family more for the kids from the 50's or 60's. So I tended to pigeonhole it into the '40-60 year old men of Italian American descent' sort of category. Seems like everyone I know with Italian background has an Uncle Ray or an Uncle Tony. :-)
