[Opinions] my great-grandmother's name!
in reply to a message by BBH
I appreciate Rita, and it was refreshing to meet a Rita my own age when I was in university - it made me realize how "vintage" the name is. It does have a nice touch of hollywood glam to it, a la Rita Hayworth (and my Gramma-Gramma, as we call her, is a total drama queen too - like "I simply cannot abide chocolate drizzled on a plate with lemon pie on it- that's utter foolishness, take it away" drama queen [actual gramma-gramma quote])It seems like a high-strung, flitty name. Both my great grandmother and the young Rita I knew were fretful beauties, stamping their tiny feet and tossing their pretty heads over some affront. Which really gives it a thoroughbred feel. High glam, high maintentance, highly beautiful and refined. I really prefer it as its own name and not a nn for Margaret.
