The name, maybe. I, alas, am not.
I know that you, quester!Toni, are adorable! I can tell by your spicy brains!
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ha! Very few have my cool but obscure name: Antonia!
Beautiful name, and I'm a big fan of My Antonia.
The name, maybe. I, alas, am not.
We adore you!

Heh. I have a girl cousin named Toni. Allegedly after Tondelayoh, but the rest of the family knows that my aunt had an affair with a guy named Tony while my uncle was at sea.

Punishingly Intricate
My mom was so sure she was having a boy (Nicholas) that she didn't pick out a girl's name for me. So she let the nurses pick (my dad worked at the hospital so the nurses were friends at least not strangers)

Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya, when I think the name IRL is Ann-TOE-nee-ya?

Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.

Is it spelled phonetically at some point?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I wasn't given a middle name when I was born. I had to ask for one for my 18th birthday.
