Baby girl name

[Marryfa]

Hi mums. My baby name is Rita. I am thinking of adding Rose as a middle name to it or change it to Rita-Rose. Wondering what is your idea. If the combination is good or should keep Rita?

Keep Rita on its own. Great name btw!
Hyphenated names are a bit naff & often end up shortened anyway.

I would use it as a middle name then she will be Rita to most people in her life but if you wish you can call her Rita Rose I have a cousin who has done something similar

Most of the girls with a hyphenated name will be -Rose, -May or -Grace

Rita is fine, Rita-Rose is awful.

Rita Rose don't really go all that well

As pp's I would keep it as Rita. But Rose as a mn if you'd like. Yes I probably am a dick but Rita Rose I can just hear being hollered from the front door 'reeeee-aa-rooose, get er now' (easterners accent). Rita I think just sounds nicer

I am going to go against the grain here and say I don't mind it.

Rita-Rose has a kind of ring to it

(I usually dislike hyphenated names and the use of Rose / Rae / May as middle names)

I actually love the name Rose on its own though. Gorgeous, classic and not too overused.

Keep it as it is.

hyphenated is never good.

Hyphenated is naff. prefer Rose to Rita tbh, to me Rita is a bit dated.

Rita sounds quite fresh and zingy, with a dash of classic Hollywood. I wouldn't spoil it by hyphenating it, especially with Rose, which is so dreary and over-used.
You could stay with the Spanish theme for a middle name:

Rita Paloma
Rita Miranda
Rita Rosario
Rita Mariposa
Rita Catalina

I love Rita Rose!! So pretty!

This immediately made me think of the character Rose Rita Pottinger in John Bellairs's classic children's book series (The House With a Clock in its Walls, etc.)

She's Rose Rita, no hyphen, but is always called by both names - kind of like Billie Jean King or Pope John Paul. I'd do that with Rita Rose, if you intend to use both. No hyphen lets you treat Rita Rose as the everyday name, or Rita as the everyday name with Rose as the middle, giving you and your daughter flexibility later.

I know a Marguerite called Rita (or sometimes Daisy). I think I'd go for a longer name and use Rita as a short form. I'd use Rose as a mn.

I don’t like the alliteration personally. But I don’t think it’s terrible.

I love Margarita, which gives Rita as an obvious diminutive if you wanted to avoid alliteration. You would have to be ok with that name plus any other diminutives of Margarita too though.

Don’t hyphenate it.
