Re: Anton, Antony, or Anthony?
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
I know an Antony whose parents dropped the H because they were afraid someone might pronounce the -th- as in thistle. So perhaps that could be a consideration?
I think I prefer Antony because it's closer to the original; it also shortens comfortably to Anton, which I prefer to Tony as a nn.
