Re: WDYTO Anthony?
in reply to a message by zoopeht
I like Anthony, with a few reservations.
The possibility of the -th- being pronounced as in thin instead of tin really bothers me. So I'd only use Antony. Except, I wouldn't because I prefer Anton - shorter and tidier. And, for what it's worth, it is not likely to morph into Tony, which I don't like much, and anyway my friend Antoinette is always Toni so that confuses my head.
