Re: Antonia doesn't have to be Toni (carry it on)
in reply to a message by RoxStar
My brother is an Anthony and I know all the adults dreaded the possibility of Tony, as that was the default for every Anthony they had grown up with. By the time he was born, Tony was kind of dated anyway. I started calling him Ant and that caught on but he's called Anthony somewhat regularly too and he introduces himself to people as Anthony (I think). Most of the Anthonys around his age group are "just Anthony" though...he has a couple of friends with the name and none are Tony.
