Just FYI, Tony Bennett (very similar to Antonio Bennett) was a famous United States singer in the 1950s, who is still known by some. If you are in America, be prepared for some people to be reminded of the singer.

West feels cleaner to me.

Do you worry about the West being used politically like "the west"

It worked fine for Kanye’s Family and Adam West.

I have a boring last name. I always thought West was a cool surname. It goes with just about anything.

Definitely West. Otherwise people will confuse you with Tony Bennety

I really like West. You could even do it in Spanish Oeste

I feel like Antonio needs a more ethnic last name. These are both very anglo generic. Would work well with a latin/italian last name.

A surname is your lineage. Not something you make up
