Help[Opinions] Re: Antonia
in reply to a message by Martha
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.
