I like it; a school friend was Antoinette and sometimes known as Anti! When she went to nursing college she became Toni overnight. I would be more likely to use Antonia than Antoinette - less frilly and fussy, though my friend was neither. Her mn was Marion, which I didn't like: too close to Marie Antoinette, who came to a sad end but wasn't really a role model.
Antoinette Susan is pleasantly vintage. Antoinette Cecily is doubly feminine but sounds good. Antoinette Rose updates it. Antoinette Desiree is doubly French!
