Still trying to write a name in hindi/sanskrit...
I'm still trying to traduce my husband's name in hindi. His name is Antoine. (You can go to http://translate.google.com/#hi|fr|Antoine, to hear the pronouncing of it) The thing is, i got 2 answers for people: अंटोनी and एंट्वॅन. Those answers seems a lot different to me…which would be the good one? Thanks for your help…

I think the closest sound to http://translate.google.com/#hi|fr|Antoine
Would be: http://translate.google.com/#fr|hi|%E0%A4%86%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%86%E0%A4%A8%20
Try writting the Hindi word ppl are suggesting as if it were french word translated to Hindi so that you can hear the pronunciation in Hindi (like the link I pasted).... then you will be able to get the closest sound to Antoine as pronounced in French, which is not literal translation because a literal translation would result on a different sound....

आँत्वान
I speak French, Hindi and English
I know how it should sound, thanks to the "Chandra Bindhu" it has the nasal sound "An" like in "je pars EN vacances" and the end sounds like "twaane" and not "tony" or "tw-an" like in the two originally proposed versions
The two versions you proposed sound like "un-tony" and "ene-tw-an" respectively and what tiraj proposed sounds like "un-tw-an"
Voilà, voilà, j'espère que cela vous sera utile, même si je suis conscient de répondre avec 6 mois de retard
P.S: My french boyfriend's name too is "Antoine" ;P
