It's a pretentious word to name a baby after. Even if you don't mean it in the "rich" way, it's like calling your baby Special or Best.

How is it different then names that mean superior? Elita sounds pretty, and I'm fairly sure no one would think of"elite"

You may have noticed that almost everyone who commented on this thread says it looks like "elite" ;-)
That's also the first thing I noticed, and it's all I can think of when I see this name. So no, not very usable in my opinion.

Seriously?
It's one letter away from "elite," and unless I'm pronouncing Elita completely incorrectly, it sounds just like "elite."
