Priceless; Praiseworthy; Beautiful
Pretty sure you read it first as Antoinette. Not blaming you, since an infamous French queen has said and done a good deal of scandalous things worthy of notoriety. Antonietta, on the other hand, is an Italian name with a fair share of royal bearers to cite. And as a contraction of Antonia, it goes on to mean “priceless,” “praiseworthy,” and “beautiful.” If this accurately sums up how you feel about your precious child, Antonietta is just perfect. If nothing else, they will learn there is nothing wrong with having their cake and eating it too!
