I like Antonia, but only because I admire a certain bearer of it. (Her name was Maria Antonia, actually, and she was a total badass. She left her native country, had three children with a man she wasn't legally married to, and held a public job while he stayed home with the kids. And this was in the 1940s, mind you.)

Obviously, if I were to ever use Antonia,it'd be as a middle name for Maria.

I love the name Antonia, though it's a little bit old-ladish.

I love the name Antonia. You described it perfectly. I don't think I've known anyone with this name, but I grew up with a guy named Antonio, so I wouldn't use it. I also don't like any nns for it, but I don't think it needs a nn to be usable.

I love the name Antonia. I think it's classic and elegant. I despise the nickname Toni though.

I like Antonia. I have known 2 people called Antonia who are both my age (25). One went by Ant and the other was just Antonia. I also know an Antonietta who is 16.

I like Antonia but I don't like Ant, Toni or any of the other nicknames so I wouldn't use it.

Its gorgeus. I like Antonia-Marie or Antonia-Maria with out a middle name.

I knew an Antonia, not that I spoke to her much. We actually had quite a few similar interests; liked some of the same (punk/rock) bands, steampunk, Evan Peters (hehe) she even dyed her hair the exact shade of blue I'd love to dye mine haha. I thought she was a tiny bit try hard with some stuff sometimes, like she'd act like having insomnia was cool or that someone said she looked like death (just because she wears a lot of dark clothes) or whatever. But overall she gave me a good impression of her name (and she did have a pretty awesome dress sense) although I'd feel a bit weird using it for a while. Oddly enough her brother's name is one of my favourites!

I do not think I have ever known a single Antonia either. I know a Toni, who I am pretty sure is just a Toni. And I know a Caitlyn Toni. But yeah, no Antonias. I think I like Antonia, though. I think your three words are good descriptors.

I've known a couple of girls called Antonia. I like it and I agree - elegant.

Neither of them shortened it to anything. I also knew an Italian lady called Antonella which I thought was pretty.

Love Antonia. You described it perfectly. It's on my why-isn't-this-one-used-more-? list.

Antonia Gabrielle is my stock combo for it. :0)

I like it. It's underused and beautiful. I have known three or four in my life, but never at the same time. They are all younger than 35. I dislike Toni, the full name is much more beautiful.
