an-TO-nyah
would be how I say it. My mom's family is Italian (my late grandfather was from Italy) so the most I've ever heard anyone saying it has been in reference to distant Italian relatives.I like it a lot--it's one of my very favorites, particularly in the combo Elizabeth Antonia or Antonia Elizabeth. I think it's a beautiful name, a bit less common but not so obscure that it sounds like a forced effort at being interesting. I can't say I like any nicknames for it, though, especially Toni.
