Interesting name. I initially thought to pronounce it it-own-ee-ah When I read it.
I don't like it much. It reminds me of Antonia which I really don't like, and I like even less the nn Toni. And even if you said it how you pronounce it, i-tohn-ya, then it reminds me of Tanya or Tonya.
I don't think it's that usable in real like mainly because it sounds so very similar to more common names, I feel like people would be forever saying "Sorry was that Tonya?" People may forget the i. I think it is great for a book though and in real life, I'd probably still be happier to hear a little girl say her name is Itonia rather than Madison or something, I just wouldn't want to bear it myself
