Anthony, I'm not sure, is short for st. Antonius. and maybe because Italy (Rome) is the center of Christianity they use important name like this.
BUT im no expert, this is a guess but i did learn the facts.
anyway
Achilles
Hector
Heracles
soooo many to choose from but they are the one to pop to my head, i prefer "Achilles".
but just give him regular name, there will be no name problems in school with regular one...

Did you watch Fat Greek wedding movie? Everybody named their kids Tony in that. I always thought Anthony was an Italian name, but Greeks seem to use it excessively.
