I think it's lovely, if a tad too melodramatic (though this is coming from someone who loves Fiammetta and Artemisia).

It's sweet but not really my style.

Antonella is one of those underutilized classics I love rediscovering. (Antonin too.) Antonella has so many nn possibilities. The trick is finding a mn for it that complements its frilly style, but isn't so frilly that the whole thing becomes overwhelming. Antonella Liv and Antonella Sophie are my stock combos, but I'm not thrilled with them. They feel a little too safe. I'd love to hear if anyone has any better ideas. :-)

Aw. It's a shame Grace has been "discovered." She works so well in the mn spot. Antonella Hope, Antonella Truth?I have no problem with the fn and mn both ending in an "-a." But it's still difficult. I do like Antonella Eugenia. Perhaps Antonella Eugenie? Using the French variant can sometimes work wonders. Antonella Sylvie? That's a little less predictable than Antonella Sophie. I dunno. Or an Greek mn could be fresher sounding, like Antonella Zoe, Antonella Phoebe? Nature? Antonella Ruby, Antonella Pearl, Antonella Fleur?
