Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya
Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.
Is it spelled phonetically at some point?

I wasn't given a middle name when I was born. I had to ask for one for my 18th birthday.

Suzi! Was that cultural or just your parents being your parents?

I went to school with a girl named Bobette. Guess what her dad's name was. I dare ya.
I've whinged at length about my historic experience of bonny, but I have to say, I'm enjoying it now.
It's funny how many of my peeps can't get past beej. S'okay with me, in a major way. It's a nice feeling, in either direction. Hey, somebody wants to address me? Don't really care what they call me!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I get that question all the time. The Bohemian ( and illogical!) pronunciation in the book is Ann-toe-NEE-ya. My name is pronounced Ann-TOE-nee-ya, which is the one true pronunciation!
Thanks for all the positive reinforcement guys, but I'm not used to it and it feels weird!

Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya, when I think the name IRL is Ann-TOE-nee-ya?
Because you're right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.
Ha HA!

I'm not sure. I think the teacher made a point of explaining the proper pronounciation for a Czech (Bohemian?) girl of that time. Also I guess it's spelled with an accent: My Ántonia.
