Rita or Fiona?

[CailinDana]

Having a terrible time trying to think of a name for PSB. Not sure yet if it's a boy or a girl but want to get two names lined up.

So our current two girl options are Rita (mine) and Fiona (DH).
Which do you prefer?

Personally I prefer Fiona.

I like them both, but I prefer Fiona probably been spending too much time watching Burn Notice.

Fiona.

Rita

Fiona, much prefer Fi over Reet which they'll inevitably be shortened to at some point

Fiona is a safer option. I prefer Rita though.

Rita!!

Brilliant name!

Fiona

Definitely Fiona. Not Rita. It reminds me of names like Carol and Sylvia which I don't think are ready to become in vogue again.

Definitely Fiona.

Rita - lovely and under used. Fiona is nice too but a bit weedy.

Rita makes me immediatley think of Rita Ora who I detest ( not personally i dont know her) but I saw her live , supporting coldplay and I really didnt like how she came across.

both due for a come back I think. how do they go with your other child's name. How about Margaret with nn Rita?

Neither.

Fiona.

Not Rita in UK until at least 5 years after the Corrie character has left the screens.

Both nice but Rita Hayworth was unbelievably gorgeous so Rita!

If you go down the nn route Margarita and Marguerite are nicer than Margaret IMO.

fiona. I only know one under the age of 20 and she's a very confident little girl. Gets called Fi or Feezee (phonetically!) for short.

rita still sounds a bit like someone's Mum to me...

Margarita with Rita as nn is a great idea! You'd also have the option of Maggie.

Margarita makes me think of the drink. Marguerite is nice though,nn Rita, meaning pearl as it's a French derivative of Margaret, or botanical name for a kind of daisy so it's a flower name.

Fiona, but I am biased :) mine has the nickname Ona or Ones (rhyme with Jones) at home, but is also sometimes called Fi or Fifi by other people.

I think of Rita Webb, a comedienne of the seventies. I don't like the name....hate "Reet".

Fiona is ok but nothing amazing.

Fiona

I love Fiona
