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?

I am one of the names and I think its a bit meh Grin, but I am lovely!

Fiona, by a long way. Lovely, pretty but strong, never quite gone out of fashion but currently underused.

Rita seems to me a 'one hit wonder' of adults in the 60s, so maybe the 30s, which was probably never popular before and never will be again. Lovely Rita meter maid goes around my head.

Anita is similar but more versatlie.

Fiona is lovely. I know a few of many different ages, all are great!
Rita reminds me of Rita Skeeter - the Harry Potter journalist character.

Well, you can guess which I am. I have never disliked my name and the older I get (am 45) the more I love it. I agree it is underused and quite like that. Get called Fi and Fifi sometimes which I am less keen on. I have known very few and currently know none.

Rita Fairclough (or whatever she is called now) meh.
