Help[Opinions] Antoinette
So today I realized that this is like, the perfect name. I mean, in terms of my own standards.
It's got everything I love. It's OTT to the point of being trashy, it's Romantic, it's historical, it's got morbid associations, it's unpopular, and it's got great potential nicknames that range from sweetly vintage to brassy (Annie, Nettie, Toni). It's also a family name because my great-grandfather had a sister named Antoinette (she was a Toni). It's got it ALL, baby. The only thing that makes me sad is that we don't know what it means. I think the traditional made-up meaning for it is "priceless" (at least, that's what I remember reading in many, many, many baby name books), which is just beautifully tacky.
Anyway, what do you think about Antoinette? Do you prefer Antonia? (I also love Antonia a really lot, it's so booming)
Feel free to share any combos, if you want! I'm going to be playing with this name for a bit.
