Even though it is old fashioned, I like this name. My nan is called Rita. I wouldn't call my children that (I prefer rarer names), but it's really pretty!

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.
