Adore it; I especially like the nn Nia. I pronounce Antonia an-TON-ee-a or ahn-TON-ee-a depending on my mood.

I say ann-TONE-ee-ahann-toe-NEE-ah might grow on me, but right now it sounds so wrong that I can't form an opinion.I'm unable to say an-TO-nyah...I can't get my tongue around the "nyah" sound.

I don't like the name, I find it ugly. But I pronounce an-TOE-nee-ah.

an-TO-nyahwould be how I say it. My mom's family is Italian (my late grandfather was from Italy) so the most I've ever heard anyone saying it has been in reference to distant Italian relatives.I like it a lot--it's one of my very favorites, particularly in the combo Elizabeth Antonia or Antonia Elizabeth. I think it's a beautiful name, a bit less common but not so obscure that it sounds like a forced effort at being interesting. I can't say I like any nicknames for it, though, especially Toni.

It's my best friend's name, but she's always known as Toni. I personally love her full name, but she doesn't. We pronounce it an-TON-ee-a.

I say it ahn-TOH-nee-ah. So kind of close to the German pronunciation, I suppose. I've really been liking Antonia recently. I used the combo Colette Antonia in a game recently and ever since then it's been growing on me.------
