Rita
I've long neglected Rita, but now I find it sassy, pert, and fresh. I think of Rita Hayworth, of course, as well as the amnesiac in Mulholland Drive, which lends it a ghostly mystique. What do you think?

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.

Wow, what a woman! What a life! Ritz is a delicious nickname.
I think it just sounds cheap and brassy, like a bad dye job and clothes two sizes too tight and loud fake laughter.
