I used to really hate my name, I thought it was too clunky and had a stuck-up feel to it, but lately I've grown to appreciate it more! I think it has a very melodic sound and rhythm to it, and a nice meaning overall!
Antonia is in my top 5.
I really like Antonia for a name. It has a very strong yet beautifully romantic feel to it. The meaning “priceless” is gorgeous, as well. Also, I think Toni/Tony are really good nickname potentials. It gives it a more tomboyish feel, but is still feminine, too. I think Antonia is a wonderful name.God bless you.

Antonia sounds so classy, elegant, and mature! It makes me imagine a beautiful, mysterious woman with long, wavy black hair and dark eyes. Antonia does sound a bit grown-up for a kid or teenager, but that's fine since that's only a minority of her lifetime, unlike with juvenile names. Toni is nice as a nickname, although it may get misspelled Tony. To me, Toni sounds fitting on someone who is extroverted, bubbly, and girly. All in all, it's a wonderful name.

Am called Mary Antonia Ritah and out of all my names I love Antonia most because its unique first of all, I've never had a namesake called Antonia in all the schools I've been to so far until this year I met one girl by the same name, I receive a lot of compliments about my name because people think its really beautiful but the worst part is I am now nicknamed Tony and some call me Anty and it just pisses me off. Otherwise, it's a good name save for the ridiculous nicknames attached to it.

Marie Antoinette's name was originally Maria Antonia. Her full name was Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna.
A classy but strong name with great history. I find it beautiful and my favorite combination is Antonia Charlotte. I personally don't like the Toni nickname but open to it if my future child likes it. Who knows, it might fit them. I personally am not into nicknames if the name's good enough then nicknames shouldn't be a concern. All that matters is if the whole name is pleasing and Toni isn't that big of a deal breaker for me.

I used to hold this name in high regard. It is a sophisticated, classic name with a rich history. But then someone misspelled it one day as ATONIA, which essentially means "a muscle that has lost its strength." That association really altered the way I saw this name. =(

This is such a beautiful name! I wish I could succeed in selling this name to my husband. It sounds beautiful, strong and capable, like a city woman turned pioneer.
It's a nice enough name, but I can't stand the nicknames Toni and Tonia. The former sounds like the name of many jerks, and the latter just sounds a bit trashy and harsh.

Yes it does mean "priceless".

Antonia is the feminine form of Antonius, but it should be noted that it derives from the family name, not a male given name. Roman women were generally assigned the feminized version of the family name. Thus, Marcus Antonius had two daughters, Antonia Major and Antonia Minor. Likewise for other names -- Julia, etc.
About the Roman naming of daughters... Aside from naming daughters Antonia Major and Antonia Minor, Romans might number them (ie: Antonia Prima, Antonia Secunda, Antonia Tertia...)
