I like both.

Anita is fresher and livelier than production-line Anna.

Anna is a bland, inoffensive bore.
Anita is dated but much livelier than Anna. Trouble is, with the wrong last name it too easily becomes a silly pun. ANita Mann, Anita Walker, Anita Car, Anita Knapp.

While Anita isn't my favorite, it's an okay name, nonetheless.I adore Anna, and probably because it was the name of my maternal grandmother who I barely got to know, and remember, since she passed away in 1982 when I was only 5-years-old. It's also just a nice name, in general, not taking that into account.

I dislike both. I find Anna dull and Anita unattractive, but then I dislike all names ending in ITA.

Both are ok

I like both.Anita is nice in theory, though I think I almost exclusively have heard it used on baby boomer/Gen-X women. I went to college with one who would be 26/27 now, and it seemed like a very odd and out-of-place name for the time period. That said, it's a nice name.Anna is a bit bland but a classic and always nice to hear. Had I been assigned female at birth, my parents would have named me Anna Elizabeth, a combo I rather like.

I know an Anna Elizabeth! She's just turned 47 ...
