It's alright. There's nothing special about it, but it certainly isn't terrible. I just think of it as a name that just exists really, although a dated one.

Rita Caroline & Rita Eloise are my favorites from your list.

I've always Rita unattractive, and was quite insulted when an acquaintance told me I looked like a Rita. Rita Marcelle is pretty snazzy.

I instantly think of Lovely Rita, Meter Maid. Not the worst association, it's a peppy song.

Out of your combos, I like Rita Celeste the best. I'm not quite sure why, I just like the way it sounds.

Rita was my great grandmother's name! She lived a long time and I was able to get to know her. She was a very proud lady, with pale white skin and dark hair and eyes. She had a tragic, half-wild childhood but grew up to marry the gentle son of a despotic French petty baron who lost his land. Terribly Romantic. Rita is like the Canadian prairie version of Southern Gothic. Not glamorous exactly, but with a trim, unforgiving elegance. I like it, it's plucky and overdramatic, just like my gramma-gramma. My great-grandpa used to call her "Ritz" as a nickname. Rita is very ritzy.

I love Rita Francine! Rita Vivienne captures the Rita spirit very well, too.

I think it just sounds cheap and brassy, like a bad dye job and clothes two sizes too tight and loud fake laughter.

It like it
