Originally posted by Toni_corleone: His name was Antonio he said it in the beginning and his mom called him that but they kept spelling his name Tony? Tony is a short name for Antonio. Tony is the male americanized version of his name. Toni is short for Antoinette. A Female americanized version of the name. Don Cardi

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.
