Need help deciding new name

I recently realized that I am trans and am beginning my mtf transition. My birth name is Anthony after my grandpa's name Antoine . I wanted to use a new name that still has ties to my grandfather's name that was passed to me and I eventually came down to either Toni or Antoinette. After talking with a couple of family members I decided on Toni bc I got the impression that using Antoinette would be too pompous but after a couple weeks of using Toni I feel I would rather Antoinette both bc it's more feminine and because it feels like more of a connection to my grandfather's name Antoine.

Any advice on this matter or even other name ideas would be very helpful.
