Antonia (edited)
Flute has rubbed off on me, and I'm really liking the name Antonia lately. I prn it ahn-TO-nyah.
1. What do you think of it in and of itself?
2. I dislike the NN Toni, so how do you feel about Ana / Anna with it? Alternately, since I'm using the -nyah prn for the end, would you consider Anya (Ania?) as a NN? I don't know that I'd use it, but just wondering.
3. Does it fit with my other names (Henry, Oliver, Cora Genevieve, Adelle Cecelia)?
4. Combo suggestions, please.
Edited: WDYT of Antonia Pearl?
TIA

I love Antonia - too many people seem to. It isn't special anymore :(
My favorite nn for it is Ant, personally (if you can get an animal as a nn, always do! They're the cutest nns, like Octopus or Octy for Octavia, etc.) Anya would work. And Antonia definitely works with Adelle, Cora, Henry and Oliver (all of which I like a lot). It's as classy as any of them, and I don't think you should worry about it and Adelle starting with the same letter. My brother's and sister's names both start with A and nobody ever notices.

I like the name a lot and I think it's very pretty. I think Ana/Anna or Anya/Ania could work as nicknames. I like Tonia (with the O prn. as OH). I think it suits your other names well. I'm not so great with combos. Antonia Pearl is nice, but Pearl is nms.
I love Antonia and I would be very happy if I could use Antpnia on my own child some day.
I love the NN Toni, and I think that both Ana and Anna are to common. Maybe Nia?
I think it fits with Henry,Oliver and Cora, not Adelle Cecelia.
I think Antonia Pearl sounds great.
Another prn is ahn-TON-yah, thats how we prn it here in Sweden. Not big differens but anyway :)

I love Antonia! It's a strong name for a girl. It certainly goes with your other names because of it's historical (ancient Roman) feel. I know it sounds strange, but I was considering Onia (after the ancient Greek region of Ionia) as a possible nn. I wouldn't dismiss Toni as a nn too quickly - there is the wonderful author Toni Morrison as a namesake. My suggestion as a combo:
Antonia Muse
Antonia Muse
I simply love Antonia, no explanation why though.
Anya could would as a nickname if you introduce her as that to people. I don't like Toni as a nn.
Antonia fits best with Henry and Oliver. Cora Genevieve and Adelle Cecelia have a different feel then the others.
Combo ideas:
Antonia Renee
Antonia Samantha
Antonia Grace
Antonia Rose
Antonia Marie
Antonia Mary
Antonia Phyllis
Antonia Joann
Antonia Fern
Antonia Claire
Antonia Josephine
Antonia Giselle

I find Antonia a little cold and standoffish by my standards, but it's fine on someone else's child. I hate Toni too, but Anya is very workable.
Henry, Cora & Antonia work fine together, and Adelle and Antonia are fine together if you don't mind having two kids' names starting with the same letter.
Antonia Pearl is adorable!

I like Antonia a lot. Its very pretty and regal. I dislike Toni as well but Ana or Anya are both great nns. It definitely fits in with your other names.

I love the name Antonia, it was the name of myself as a fantasy princess when I was a child.
I agree, I dont like the nn Toni, and I think you could make Anya work.
My name is Karina, and I got Reens, Reenie and Reens from it. The trick it to just tell people that her nicknames Anya.
Personally I like Henry and Antonia, Antonia and Genevieve,however I don't really like Adelle and Antonia. Im not a big fan of alliteration with siblings.
For a combo, I like Antonia Jade.
