Comments for the name Britta

Comments for BRITTA:

Brita, with one t is a type of water purifier. Be careful with the spelling! One way it's a nice name, the other, your daughter's a brand of water filter!

It could be spelled Brita in Swedish, too (although it's pronounced BREE-tah, then), but I don't think that water container is sold here.

This name would be perfect if it weren't for Brita water filters! I think I might use it anyway.

Sounds like the word "brittle". Which hasn't the greatest meaning.

This name is pretty. It's not to be confused with Brita, though. It is much less popular than Brittany and would make a great alternative to this name. By the way, there is a Britta who goes to my school and she is very nice. So that's why I like this name.

The meaning of this name is not water filter. They just used the freaking name! So let's say we can't use Lily because it's a flower or Aurora because she's a Disney princess. Anyway I love this name.

Very, very dated in Sweden. It's not pretty at all.

I know a Britta, and I think it's lovely! It did initially make me think of the water filter, but the thought didn't stick after I got to know her. Anyway, this name is very cute and very sweet in my opinion. ^-^
