Girl's name Vita - what do you think?

Unadon 2nd letter of Greek alphabet is beta. Hence "alphabet" (alpha, beta...)

Jooni It is pronounced as veeta in modern Greek. Beta is the classical Greek pronunciation.

Oh well in that case exactly like the Greek alphabet! You're not a fan though?

I don't mind it when thinking of it as a name in itself/when said out loud. But if I'm looking at it on paper I'd be cautious of the vitamin connotation if that makes sense?

As in Ryvita. Not fussed.

Not for me, doesn't seem like a name to me.

I think it's really stylish

Is this thread a joke?! Grin

I love it. Wanted to use it if I'd had a girl. It is Italian for 'life' and pronounced 'Veeta'.

I know a couple of Vitas, it was on my list if we had a girl

Helga55 · 28/06/2017 06:37

I have a Vita Smile pronounced Vee-ta, loved it as soon as I saw it

I love it - on my shortlist if I have a girl one day.

In Australia (and it could well be elsewhere) there's a brand of Sya milk called 'Vitasoy'....I'd have too strong an association with that to use the name Vita.

No. Ryvita. Vitalite. Whichever way you say it, it isn't good.
