This is my birth name, although I usually go by the nickname "Toni" (Anne had bad connotations in our family). I was named after my agnate grandmother, who was born in the 1920s. It used to make me cringe when I heard my full name on the first day of class, but I was always complimented on how pretty a name it is.

I love it now, because it is so rare and unique in the States, especially in my generation (Gen-Y). Although, I still can get annoyed when people assume it AntoInette and pronounce it thus. There *is no "i"* in my name. It is *not* French! So be prepared for that if you decide to name you kid this in the U.S.
