In his own fanzines, he spelled his name Toni. Other fans sometimes misspelled it as Tony. Leah Zeldes Smith (talk) 10:28, 13 February 2023 (PST)

There is one "Tony" even in his address in Peregrinations in Blue page 9, but it is Toni in the address at the Contents page "II" and then variously throughout.
I suppose that reason for that iota might be that that the Czech name Antonín has the shortened/familiar form Toník… and now that I think of it, even Toni was not unknown in the first half of the century, although it has disappeared since (both possibly due to a German influence? one of the last instances, at least in significant literature, is in Karel Čapek's wikipedia:The Mother (Čapek play).) --JVjr (talk) 07:01, 14 February 2023 (PST)
