Anthony

原There are so many black people named Anthony.

原Anthony Ramos, the actor who plays John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in the Broadway musical "Hamilton". (he's really cute ♡)

原My man's name is Anthony, he dislikes it very much but I love it in full, not shortened. I love saying it.

原I really like this name, my favorite boy name.

原Anthony "Tony" Hicks, lead guitarist for the British group the Hollies. He was born in Lancashire, Enlgand in 1945 and he joined the Hollies when he was 17 in 1963.

原The origin of the name Anthony is Ephraim which is Hebrew for Antony (no H in the Greek alphabet), son of Joseph, the patriarch, and Asenath born in Egypt in the third generation; Grandson of Jacob, who is Israel, son of Isaac, who pronounced Ephraim, now Anthony, the birth-right leader of the orthodox twelve-tribes in Genesis chapter 48 according to Moses of the fourth generation, author of the first four books and Apocrypha, contained in the only book of life authorized by all twelve tribes individually and Antonius (typeset only) from which I scribe. Anthony also means doubly-fruitful and General in English. Ephraim was, and Anthony is, one of the four holy fathers (later Four Holy Marshalls of Rhineland) with whom God consulted in Apocrypha. Anthony is also the eponym for Antiquity.

原I have a nephew named Anthony. He will be four in a couple of months and the name fits him perfectly. Anthony is a type of name that I've always liked and one I have never turned down due to personal taste. It's a classic and handsome name that will age well with the person. Not to forget that it's also very practical and decent. I can't help but to picture an "Anthony" only with dark features and darker skin. I can't picture an Anthony with light features and really fair skin at all.My nephew often gets called 'Tony' It's a perfectly fine name. (Same with Anthony)Anthony is a great name to use. It's one I give a solid thumbs up to.

原I love this name. It is a saint's name and will be my future son's name.

原I really like this name, but it's so common that I feel it's gotten boring. Shame, because it's so beautiful and strong-sounding.

原Much better than the nickname Tony. It makes me think of a teenager who's good at dancing LOL.

原A very handsome, classic name. I love the name Anthony.

原What about Anthony Horowitz. The British screenwriter of for example: Midsomer Murders, Foyle's War and Agatha Christie's Poirot. He also writes books for young adults like the Alex Rider series. These tv series are by accident my favourite ones and I've read all the books of Alex Rider.

原My name is Anthony and I am proud to share the name of 2 great saints.

原I'm not too keen on the nickname Tony. I mean, it's nice, but I like the full name Anthony better.

原In the book 18, Peter's young, awkward, and naïve but surprisingly cunning law firm partner is named Anthony.

原Anthony Kennedy is a Supreme Court Justice.

原I love this name, I met a little boy named Anthony once. I like the nickname tony too, but I like Anthony a little better :)

原I like this name... though I'm not really a big fan of the nickname Tony or Ant. I've generally always preferred just Anthony. It's so classical, timeless, and masculine in my opinion. Plus I love how it sounds when you say it. I don't feel like it's too common (although in my opinion, the nickname Tony is). Anyway, great name for a boy!

原Sir Anthony Caro is a British sculptor, one of the most influential figures in post-war British art.

原Anthony Rester, a character from the anime and mange Death Note.

原Anthony Frederick Blunt (1907-1983) was a British art historian and spy.

原English name meaning "Beyond Praise".

原To those who may think Anthony ("Tony") is unusable because of real-life Mobsters/television-criminals bearing the name; If you feel that way, you may as well scratch off the name Al (Albert(o)), because, God forbid, that Al Capone! Now that I think about it, Raymond should never be used because of New-England crime boss, Raymond Patriarco. Same with the names Silvio, Salvatore, Giuseppe, and many others. Just so you are aware, the growing stereotype is that all Italians are part of the Mafia. Which means, all noticably Italian names may also be victim to that lie. But would that stop you from using Rudolfo? Eliseo? Ernesto? Marcello? I hope not.I think it is a bit unreasonable that you would refrain from naming your child such a strong name because of a few associations (that many people may not even realize, mind you). To be honest, I am not a fan of politician Bill Clinton. Would that stop me from using the name William, you ask? Negative, my loves. The same stands for Senator John Kerry. I may not support the person, but I do enjoy the name.

原Worthy of Praise is the definition of Anthony, and I agree.

原I really like the name Anthony. I am trying to decide which I liked better as a middle name: Alexander or Anthony. I love both of names rather equally. I think Anthony sounds upper-class, is what is comes down to, if we disregard Tony, etc.

原Anthony is not pronounced AN-ta-nee in the WHOLE of the UK. It is pronounced AN-tha-nee in Northern Ireland.

原It's a great name for a guy, with cool nicknames and an attractive edge. It's one of my favorite names for a boy.

原Anthony Stonem, from the British teen drama Skins. Usually called Tony Stonem.

原Yves Montand is a famous French singer of Italian origin.

原As an Australian of Italian origin I hated my name 'Tony' because every second Italian was called that. I also disliked 'Anthony' because it sounds too formal. The chap who said it was of Greek origin is wrong because 'Anthony' only acquired the th in English during the Renaissance to make it seem like a classical Greek name. It never acquired the th in any other language.

原Anthony Bourdain. A famous chef who has a show on the Travel Channel.

原I just notice you list Anthony as a Roman name, starting with Anthony and Cleopatra. Anthony (as its "th" shows) is of Greek origin.Anthon was the son of Hercules, and all his sons made up the clan of Antonides (part of Heraclides). Each descendant of this clan was called Anthonios (son of Anthon). Plutarch mentions this in his "Life of Anthonios" chapter 4, section 2.

原Anthony J. Crowley, Hell's agent on Earth and friends with the angel Aziraphale. ;)

原My brother's name is Anthony, and has always been called Anthony, and occasionally Ant. He is the only Anthony I know who goes by Anthony, not Tony or AJ. I hate how Tony is a nickname for Anthony, there is an h in Anthony, Tony should be short for Antony.

原I've never really liked this name. I don't have any personal associations like this, but for some reason it's always made me think of a bratty little kid. The popularity of this name baffles me, and plus the nickname Tony inevitably seems to go to a gangster or mobster on TV or in the movies.

原Opera singer and actor Jan Rubeš and actress Susan Douglas have a son Anthony Dean Rubeš.

原Anton was the son of the mythic hero Hercules, and his sons where Antonioi (plural of Antonios). Greek historian Plutarch (AD 46-120) wrote a book on "the life of Antonios" the grandson of Hercules. The name is referenced there many times and the story is placed before the classical era, hence it can be safely presumed that Antonios (later Anthony) is indeed a Greek name. The "h" found after "t" in Anthony denotes the translation from the Greek name which uses an "omega" rather than an "omicron". Translation of "omega" adds the "h" to create the heavier accent of "omega" as opposed to "omikron" even though both vowels are pronounced "oh".

原A famous bearer was author Anthony Burgess (1917-1993).

原I have seen elsewhere that this name could mean 'praiseworthy'.

原To all the people saying it means "priceless," why would such an ancient word have such a modern meaning? It's absurd.

原There's always Anthony Hope of Sweeney Todd- or Anthony DiNozzo from NCIS. Or for that matter, Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man. Not everyone nicknamed Tony is a mobster, guys.I love this name- either as Anthony or Tony. Comes across as sincere, kind of cheeky, and sweet.

原Means priceless.

原Sorry, but give it a rest. It's too common. I'm from New York, and every other boy here who's not Christopher is named Anthony. And don't forget that the nickname Tony is always given to the mobster on TV or in the movies.

原Number 8 for boys in 2005.

原Lord Anthony Dewhurst, of The Scarlet Pimpernel.

原Anthony Gonzalez, also known as M83, has this name. He creates some pretty impressive, lush soundscapes, and his music tends to be very intense, emotional, and often either euphoric or melancholic.

原Someone already said that Anthony Kiedis is the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this is also the middle name of his bandmate John Frusciante, the lead guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers! I always thought this was cool. :)

原A famous bearer is Anthony E. Zuiker (born August 17, 1968), the creator and executive producer of the CSI television franchise - "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" since 2000, "CSI: Miami" since 2002, and "CSI: New York" since 2004. He's been nominated for 3 Primetime Emmy Awards for producing the first of the three series.

原A famous bearer is American deaf actor Anthony Natale.

原Anthony Declan Slattery, more commonly known as actor/comedian/singer Tony Slattery, most famous for his time on British improvisation show Whose Line Is It Anyway? is a (somewhat) famous bearer of this name.

原A possible feminine namesake could be Anthea, pronounced: ANN-thee-ah or as in the French, ANN-tay-ah. Both are really pretty ways of naming a girl after an Anthony I think. Everyone knows the common feminine forms -- Antonia, Antoinette, etc -- so why not try something different?

原Anthony DiNozzo "Tony" is a main character on NCIS.

原I absolutely like this name! It's cool and nice.

原Despite the 'th' sound in the American pronunciation of this name, Tony is a common nickname.

原Call me weird but I don't care for any male names beginning with the letter A and I hate the name Anthony. If I had to have an Anthony, I would call him Tony. Boy names beginning with the letter A are too soft.

原Anthony Padilla is from Smosh.

原This is normally pronounced AN-tun-ee in the UK and AN-thun-ee in the US - hence the common British short form Tony, which isn't much used in America.

原Anthony is the middle name of singer Robert Plant, former lead singer of Led Zeppelin.

原I love the name Anthony. It should not be shortened, especially to Tony. It makes me think of that guy from Seinfeld (who Elaine dated). He kinda buged me.

原This is my favorite name of all time. If I think of the name Anthony, I think of a strong, funny guy with brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. My eldest son is named Anthony, it suits him well! I named him after my favorite actor, Anthony LaPagilia.

原I like this name but I'm not keen on the shortened form 'Tony'.

原Another famous bearer of the name is Anthony 'Tony' Soprano, the central characters of the successful TV show 'The Sopranos', played by James Gandolfini.

原To my knowlegde, Anthony is rightly classified as an Etruscan name - its origin can be traced to a god called Ani-Dune, who has the same function as the Roman god Janus and is depicted with two faces, one looking forward and one backwards. I found translations like "the godly" and "the priceless".
