Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My mother had a thing for that name, apparently. Maria is the oldest of the three of us, but when the Prince of Darkness came around, she named him Antonio Rudolfo.
Not that it mattered. He's still the Prince of Darkness as far as Maria and I are concerned.
Then there's me, with Barbara Caridad, which always made the first day of school heap big fun.
The best thing my biological mother ever did for me was name me. I like both of my names (Nanita Danielle) and while I've never had to endure there being another "Nanita", it's not hard to say and it's spelled just like it sounds. Plus, growing up in Hawaii, it got shortened to "Nani" which I also really love. Just a good name all around. The loathe loathe loathe being called "Nan" (with the "a" pronounced as the "a" in "Sam") and won't answer to it.
Said in Spanish, it flows really beautifully
The only other Antonias I've actually met were Hispanic.
Toni is just adorable.
The name, maybe. I, alas, am not.
I think "Caridad" is absolutely beautiful. I love the way it rolls of the tongue.
I have 5 sisters and 3 of them have Mary as a middle name. Yes, we were Catholic.

My mom has two sisters with Mary as a first name. We used to give my grandmom shit about that. In a loving way! I know it's because she loved the BVM!

I know that you, quester!Toni, are adorable! I can tell by your spicy brains!
Neither of my parents like their middle names (Dad's is Albert, and Mom's is Agnes--a family name in her case, but she never refers to it willingly).
I used to work with an Antonia-called-Toni.
I grew up with a girl just named Toni, because they were really really sure they were having a boy, and I guess they were going to name him Tony, not Anthony?
