Re: Antonia
in reply to a message by Millie
It's my top choice if i ever have a daughter and can get DH approval (I just need him to forget about Leona and consider something else). I pronounce Antonia ann-TOE-nee-uh and I am from California. I also like the other pronunciation but I feel that I have to use a fake accent to say it lol.
I like Antonia with no nicknames the best. If I ever have my Antonia I will probably call her Tawny on occasion I also like Nia and think that Nina works as a nickname too. Ants would probably be a cutesy family nickname, kind of like Bug, not something I would tell others to call her.

oh and...
I don't think Antonia is too snobby or posh. Just look at the most popular girls names now, a little posh is a good, but Antonia seems very friendly to me as well.
And also the nickname Annie completely takes away any perceived snobbiness, although I couldn't use that nickname since it is my sisters nickname, thats why I forgot to mention it.
