Re: Antonia (edited)
in reply to a message by Cora
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.
