My parents named me Rita Ann. I was born in 1951. Growing up, I could not wait until I was old enough to change my name legally. I never bothered to do this. One positive thing growing up, I only knew one other Rita.

Rita is a classic name that appeals to me as a sweet variant to Margaret. This simple and easily pronounceable name makes it
all the more reason why I would not hesitate to use it on any child I might have in the future.

I always heard that the name Margarita comes from the Greek word Margalithos : precious stone, precious Pearl.
(I studied in High School 6 years Greek-Latin Humanities)

In Israel you hear the name as : Margalitha or Margalith. Also in Greece you hear it with the L and not the R.

I always thought Rita was a very pretty name. There was a girl who lived across the street from me named Rita. We all thought she was so pretty and her name fit her. Then I went to middle school and met this big headed obnoxious girl named Rita. I was appalled that such a person could have such a pretty name.
