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.
