What do you think of the name Rita? On a side note, what do you think of Margherita / Margarita?

Someone mentioned that Rita is a dated name--very true, I know several(5 or6) women aged 55-65 with this name. So, indeed, perhaps its time has come around again.

I like Rita as a nickname only. I really like Margherita and Margarita.

I think it's adorable. I dislike Margarita because of the drink.__________________________________________________

For some reason, Rita doesn't sound pretty to me, but I do love Marguerite. I don't care for Margarita because it would remind me of the drink.

I'm not a huge fan, but I have an Aunt Rita and I love her so I don't hate the name. LOL. Her name is just Rita, it's not short for anything. But I don't really care for Margarita, etc.; I think most will associate it with the drink, as I do. :-

I like it. It has a certain ring to it that I like. I don't care for Margherita / Margarita, as I find them too frilly.

I like Rita, it's old fashioned but it reminds me of Rita Hayworth and old Hollywood. Maybe it will be popular again, as Ava has become.I prefer Margaretta over Margarita.

I'm not really that fond of the name Rita. I don't like the reet sound. I also think it sounds dated. Margherita/Margarita, I'd never consider because of the drink.Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I think Margherita is lovely, but Margarita, though a pretty and legitimate name, is too reminiscent of frosty tequila-laden beverages for me actually to use on a human. Rita is a fine nickname for either, and I'd rather see it used as a nickname than as a full name; there's not much to it on its own.

It's all about context. I know a spanish woman named Margarita and she's lovely, so I like the name. They don't use Margherita as a drink name (as far as I know), so it doesn't have that connection to me.By contrast, Rita doesn't do much for me.
