Thanks!

It's sometimes used just by itself, but also Antonia.

Antonia, Antoinette.

I knew a girl named Antoneil, who used Toni.


And I love how this post was posted right after someone on Pregnant posted that her name is Toni (that post is directly under this on my FList!).

this surprises me even more.
Antonia and Antonella are two very typical italian names, especially the latter, so I didn't expect them to be used in the US (I've seen Toni quite a bit, Toni Weschler, Toni Braxton, etc)

my mom has a cousin that's just Tony. her dad lost his brother in the war, and decided to name his first kid after him, boy or girl. so he got a girl Tony followed by two boys :/

A woman in my old church went by Toni, and her full name was Antoinette.

The only girl I've know with that name was a Toni-Ann.

I knew a girl that was just Toni, but as everyone else is saying it's especially common with variations of Antonia. :)
