Makes me think of anchovies, yet still I like it. Because it makes me think of ancient Rome also. It was my father's middle name.

It's a good name, not one of my favourite boys names but I like it

I'm indifferent to it.

I love it, and Tony's a great nn.
Here's something funny. A year or so ago I was reading a news story about a big fire in New Jersey. Nothing particularly remarkable, just a big fire that took some doing to get under control. It was a fairly short article, just a few paragraphs, but the town's mayor, a fire chief, a local resident and some other guy, maybe a policeman or other first responder, were quoted in the article. All four of them were named Anthony. I get the feeling it's very popular in New Jersey.

Very true re: NJ popularity, and also true as a middle name.

I even know ...
A man named Tony who has two sons, by two different wives and many years apart, and both the boys are named Anthony. I don't think either of them has a Junior or Roman number attached to his name, but they are both named after their dad. I know the little one goes by AJ, and I don't know what the bigger one is called; he's grown up and lives in some other state.
The family aren't fron NJ, but they are Italian American, and of course Anthony is very popular in those circles.

I think "Italian-American" is definitely the secret to Anthony's popularity in New Jersey.
Although, as most are aware, I'm from New Jersey. My father's middle name was Anthony, and my older sister remembered that if one of my younger sisters had been a boy, the plan was to name him Anthony. However, my father had not one drop of Italian ancestry and neither did my mother.

I've always hated it. It sounds so unpleasant, almost slimy.

I didn't use to think much of Anthony but now I think it's really distinguished. I like it as a MN a lot =)
