Either outright incorrect or regionally legitimate, I have heard Antigone pronounced AN-ti-GO-nyə in the W. United States many times.

For all of the people saying that it will get mispronounced you can just alter the spelling a bit. I was named after my great grandmother, Antigone, but my mom didn’t want people calling me anti-gone as a joke so she spelled my name Antigoni (with an I). I have never once been teased because my name is based off a “product of invest”.
Also my nickname has been Tiggy since I was little.

It pains me that some people read this name as "An-tie-gone." That is incorrect, as anyone interested in literature could tell you. It is "an-TIG-oh-nee." Think of it as being broken up as An-tig-o-ne instead of Anti-gone.
