What do you think the likelihood is that Anthony would be called Tony Thomas very often?

Well I would never call him Tony. ;)


A lot of children go by their full names now anyway, so I don't think it'd be that hard to enforce a no nn rule while he's young. If you're not planning on using an alternative, however, you have to be prepared for his high school friends, wife or future boss taking it upon themselves to shorten it to Tony at some point. Just something to keep in mind if you absolutely hate it.

I actually know an Anthony Thomas who goes by Anthony, and a bunch of Andrews and Daniels. You'll be just fine going by Anthony (inevitably, someone will call him Tony, but you can correct them), unless _he_ decides he wants to be a Tony and if that happens, well, you're SOL.

I have 2 nephews Anthony and Michael. Their parents always called them Tony and Michael. Everyone else followed their parents lead. So as long and you and your husband use Anthony everyone else will too.

It's not that I don't like the name Tony. I just don't like Tony Thomas together. I suppose it's not that big of an issue. Even if people call him Tony, it's unlikely they will refer to him by his first and last name unless it's a graduation or wedding and then they would use his full name anyway, right?
