I love it and I would consider using it.

It's not one of my great faves, but it's my nephew's mn and therefore worthy of my interest. I personally love it best in combination with, yes, Mark. I know, I know, but I do, and that's all there is to it. *sigh*

Overall, I'm in a slight limbo with this name. I want to like it more, but what with the very high popularity it has (well, I may as well face it, this name's not going anywhere) I feel somewhat hesitant to use it. Nevertheless, I still like it. If I ever used it though, I would be more likely to use it as a middle name.
Although regarding the popularity, I have only seen it on a boy maybe 2 or 3 times throughout my school years.

I always hoped it would grow on me. I hasn't really . I hate hearing it.
I love it. ♥ It's one of my all-time favourites.
Ugh...BAD memories for me.
I dated a guy named Anthony in high school, and he was a jerk. Can't like the name just because of that ONE guy.

I've never liked it, but I don't know why. Something about it rubs me the wrong way. I prefer Anton.
Like it as a mn, nms for a first name
My little brother's name
I still don't like it though. I love him to pieces obviously, so I have always waited for the day that I would warm to his name and nearly ten years later it still hasn't come. I find it plain and weak and kind of cutesy. It just really doesn't sound nice to my ear. I slightly prefer Antony or Anton. I quite like the nn Ant though which is what we call my brother and it is also what I call my best friend (he is an Antony whose real name is actually Ante ...confusing)

I don't like it, sorry
I dont know...it sounds kind of snobbish to me.
I like it but hate hate hate the nn Tony.
Following my mother's lead, I used to pronounce the th until an English Anthony indignantly told me that the h is silent - thus it sounds like Antony.
The name Dorothy is similar, in that it used to be pronounced Doroty -although unlike Anthony the articulated th sound is pretty universal with Dorothy whereas in Britain most people seem to pronounce Anthony Antony, and Americans Anthony.
I know a 30-something Antony (which might make life easier in the pronunciation department) and a 30-something Anton (I quite like it though at first thought it sounded prissy)as well.

I personally think it is awesome...
But since its my name I cant really comment, other than to say I have never had anyone think it was strange, or too common.

I like the nn Tony but can't say that I like Anthony as a whole
Dont like it
I like it. I also like Antony, but I'm not sure which one I think is better...
