Antonia: I really like it. It is strong, but can also be soft. I like the pronunciation: Ahn-ton-ee-ah. As a grown-up Toni that did not have the fortune of having a longer name growing up, if you ever do want to use Toni, please go with Antonia. I really think a more feminine & formal name would suit me better, but alas, you work with what you have... but your future daughter may just feel the same way.

Now, I love Celia. Not quite as much as Cecelia, but I do think it works much better standing alone than Toni.

Irene is okay. I had an obsession a while back with the Greek form of Eirene, which is still lovely to me, but Irene doesn't really do anything special for me.
