I think of the book My Antonia even though I've never read it.
I'm surprised I haven't come across any - it fits in with the trends. Ophelia, Augusta, Aurora, Sylvia, Agatha, Octavia - my daughter has/had classmates with these names. Never an Antonia, though.
I like the name. It's solid but not overly frilly. It has a weight to it. Antonia, Miriam, August.

It’s okay

No, I don't really think so.
It was very popular in Germany in the late 90s and early 00s and then fell again rather quickly.
To me it is the ultimate piano player name. I imagine an Antonia to be the daughter of a professor. She plays the piano every single day and is a nice girl but a bit stuck up and lives in her own world.
I could also imagine a ballet dancer. There was an Antonia in my ballet class when I was little. There was an Aurelia as well.
It is a decent name but due to it's popularity where I live I find it a bit bland. It is a name I associate very strongly with very affluent people who are nice but live in their own world a little bit.
I also strongy associate it with the arts and music and a very graceful person. I can't imagine an Antonia as anything else but a gifted child from an upper class family who dances ballet and plays several musical instruments, who gets excellent grades and never uses a swear word and who always sits up straight and pronounces every word carefully.
Not that this is bad at all, it's just not a versatile name to me.
I prefer similar names like Aurelia or Aura.
I also despise Toni as a nickname and would want to avoid that at all costs.
But yes, Antonia is a fine, decent name.
Siblings: Valentina, Katharina, Julia (only when all three syllables are carefully pronounced), Isabella, Victoria, Lydia, Christiana. Charlotte also goes nicely with it but I it is one of my least favorite names, unfortunately.
Some dated classics also go nicely with it suchs as Christina and Stephanie.

I love Antonia! It's regal but not unfriendly. I don't know why it would surge in popularity.

I was thinking it might go up because of its similarity to Anna. Its like Anna influenced by Sophia or Olivia, Anna gone princessy or something.
I hope it doesn't get popular, though. I really like it too.

I like it very much; I had an Antoinette friend at school, but I find Antonia more user-friendly. My friend came from an A-name family, so her brother is Alan and her daughters are Abigail and Alexandra; her son has a B initial, but it's a very unusual name that I don't like at all.

I've always liked the name Antonia as well as Antonina.

It's ok. I don't think it will become popular

No, I don't think it'll ever be "popular" whatever that even means on here; seems some people define popular as being in the top 1000, in which case, yes, probably it will; and others think of popular as being on the order of Ava or Charlotte, in which case, no, I doubt it. The style of the name isn't in style, so to speak.
Probably a brother for an Antonia would be Theodore or Leonardo, called of course Theo and Leo. A sister might be Eleanor or maybe Harriet.
I don't care for Antonia, it feels cold and aloof. I do like Antoinette better, but I would just skip both of them and give the bright, friendly Toni as the full name.
