How does Antoine sound for a boys name?

My wife is expecting a boy and we thought about naming it Antoine as we like the sound of it. Only problem is our friends and relatives say that sounds like an african american name. Is that true?

How does Antoine sound for a boys name?
Antoine is nice! It sounds like it has Germanic roots. I am not sure, though.





Forget about what your relatives say. It's a legit name and it's not limited to one race. I like the name Dante (a name that is used in many countries) and people consider that African American. Forget stereotypes --be strong, be brave, be original, and be happy.. Go with what you love!





I also like Antonio, too.
Reply:I like the name Antoine :)





Good Luck and congrats!
Reply:It is a nice name, and I believe it is French in origin.
Reply:Your relatives are right....





also - Antoine is French not German....
Reply:I love that name. Who cares what people say!! First of all, it is your child, not theirs. Plus, I know more than a few guys named John......two black and one white. You and your wife go for what you want!!
Reply:not too great.


sorry.
Reply:I really like that name, It sound Roman to me.
Reply:Its a fine name. If you like it go for it.
Reply:very sophisticated
Reply:Antoine is a french name. But I would say yes alot of "African Americans" do name their son's Antoine. But I think if you and your wife like the name there is nothing wrong with it. As a African American I don't think names should be only for one race. A name is a name and that's it. Congrats
Reply:Sounds a bit feminine to me.
Reply:Antoine is a very french name. Refer to movie with Meg Ryan - Kevin Kline plays a frenchman and Antoine is his brother's name.


Also, it is very popular in any french country, and many of the African countries have french influences.


All in all it is an elegant name, and if you like it - then go with it!
Reply:Antoine is an African-American name.





Antione is a French masculine name of Antionette.
Reply:i don't think that it's labeled. you could spell it differently, like Anthony or Anthauni... but my name is evie, some people think it's (eevee) but it's (ev-e), so go easy on the spelling. hope you come up with something! btw, this is your kid, but it's still his life, so try to make it cool.
Reply:If you like the name, does it really matter what it's origin is? Antoine is a great name for a little boy, black, white or every color of friggen rainbow!
Reply:So what! My real name is Mattimus and I am no Roman. I am half Chinese and Japanese. I like it!
Reply:i THiNK iT SOUNDS SEXii ON A GUY!!!! iTS REALLY CUTE!!
Reply:Its usually considered a french name have you ever heard of marie antionette at least thats what i am thinking. but its your choice
Reply:Well Antoine is okay but what about Anthony? It starts with an A like Antoine,
Reply:I love that name of I'm being partial because it is my son-in-laws name
Reply:Not really good srry but maybe Anthony or Antonio would wrk.
