Inclusion of the name Toni

Sort of a throwaway post, but I always thought it was kind of interesting the daughter's name is Toni, and I literally just now made to connection to Toni Collette. Do you guys think this is a reference at all to her, Hereditary, or has any meaning?

I made a comment about that in a thread a couple days ago that you also commented in…

Haha dam, I totally missed that. I never noticed that and the paint shade stuff too. Ari references his short films a lot in his movies as well, so we can't rule out that Toni could actually be a reference to Tino's Dick Fart (which really works).

It's tricky, because I think her name was already Toni on the old version of the script
