Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, GCVO, FRSA, RDI, (1930 – 2017) was a British photographer and filmmaker. He is best known for his portraits of world notables, many of them published in Vogue, Vanity Fair, The Sunday Times Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, and other major venues; more than 280 of his photographs are in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery.
He contracted polio as a teenager, which left him with a shortened leg and a limp. As a result, in adulthood, Snowdon was a fierce and tireless campaigner for disabled people, and over several decades achieved dozens of groundbreaking political, economic, structural, transportation, and educational reforms for persons with any type of disability.
From 1960 to 1978, he was married to Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II.

Just use Anthony! It's much better sounding than Antony! Also, Antony reminds me of that Roman politician, Mark Antony.

Not overused name, I’m definitely using it, as I’ve got a rather common name, I want an uncommon but not weird name and this is perfect, it also counts as me naming a child after my dad.

I like the names Antony and Anthony equally. They're very versatile, suiting boys and men from all English speaking countries, social classes and ages. Even after being translated to English, Antony still retains a bit of Latin charm, and it's also a Shakespearean name: of course, there's "Antony and Cleopatra", but Shakespeare has also scattered numerous Antonios throughout his plays.
While Anthony and Antony sound the same, the first spelling can be problematic: I have a friend called Anthony (pronounced AN-tuh-nee), but when he visited the US, a lot of people mispronounced his name as "AN-thuh-nee".
Some middle name combos I like include:
Antony Bertram
Antony Lawrence
Antony Malcolm
Antony Neville
Antony Prosper
Antony Quentin
Antony Quinlan
Antony Raymond
Antony Sinclair
Antony Sterling.

The name Antony was very unheard of to me until I met my husband. He said his father wanted him to be different because there were so many Anthonys in his family. Now I am pregnant with a boy and of course the name is unique to me. I am naming our son Antony Jarod. I'm so excited.

While Anthony is super overused, Antony just sounds pretentious! Maybe it's different in other countries, but as an American I would never name my son this.

This is how Mexican immigrants pronounce Anthony. If you plan to name your son, "Anthony" better hope you don't live in a high Hispanic populated location. Anthony will always be said as Antony or Tony. So annoying!
