lol thats funny cause in GTA LS Toni Cip's name was Toni lol.

Toni Cipriani`s name is Antonio, as his mother called him that sometimes. Also, Don Leone occasianaly called him "Anthony"

yeah but in GTA 3 says in the little book spells it Toni so and it does in GTA LS I think so if Toni is the girl version then someone at rockstar fucked up.

Toni is short for Antonio.

I think that in Cuba or elsewhere in Latin America, the short version of "Antonio" would be spelled "Toni." But, as DC said, in America, the "i" suffix is usually used with feminine names, like "Antoinette," and the "y" suffix for male names, like "Anthony" or "Antonio." And, let's face it, there's no way we'd ever want any ambiguity about Tony Montana's gender or sexual orientation.

lol my granpa's name was Toni so does that make his gender confused?
