It's a woman's name. But can't figure out how to pronounce "Antonia". Could someone describe phonically?

Or even a mpeg, avi or any audio format like when we had the "How do you guys pronounce AnandTech" thread.. hee hee :)

I guess you're talking about My Antonia by Cather,

I think its:

An-toe-NEE-ah

edit>> oops I'm wrong:


Cather tells us from the first how to pronounce the name Antonia: An'-ton-ee-ah, with the stress on the first syllable. That European detail finally sets the tone for the story of the immigrants from Bohemia.
