Help[Opinions] Re: Anthony

I don't like the Antony pronunciation, it feels snobbish and pretentious, like Rafe for Ralph. Fine where it's the usual way but not anyplace else.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
