What do people think of the name Vita?

[egyptianprincess]

I love it but my husband says it sounds like a vitamin drink...

It does mean life (from latin), and maybe it is a lovely name, if your dead set on it then you could consider 'Veeta' as it is a recognised varient, same meaning, and a bit less likely to be constantly mis-pronounced.

I think we're just trying to save your future DD from teasing is all!

good luck

It wouldn't occur to me to pronounce it V-eye-ta.

And on that basis, I really wouldn't choose to spell it Veeta.

I'd far rather go with a spelling that doesn't look the c word-- made up (even if its not) than correct a few people who mispronounce it.

I honestly don't think Vita is any more tease-worthy than many names out there, though would probably recommend a Sunday-best name and use Vita as a nickname. Even Vita S-W was Victoria.

I love it but surname begins with V so not an option for me.

I'd think of Sackville-West and what a great name.

Not good if your surname begins with L, or is Min.

Another who thinks it sounds like a vitamin drink, sorry.

I like it, sounds vaguely glamorous.

no it has to be disneyvita

Actually, I quite like it. But I don't love it.

One of those drinks you have when you're ill, like Complan. Sorry.

I know a Vida and also a Zita.

I think Vita would be associated with Ryvita.

FFS, it's got about as much association with Ryvita as Emma has with dilemma.

Go for it, OP, it's a beautiful, classy name. Nothing to do with bloody vitamins or crispbread.

Wasnt Vita Madonna's alter-ego in her whole Erotica phase?

Sounds Germanic and vaguely reminds me of Kabaret

Yeah but it's also not a very nice name

That was Dita Parlow APW.

Vitabix

Don't like

It makes me think of St Vitus' Dance which is a not very nice disorder, sorry.

I like quite like it. I also like Veda (which is from fab Joan Crawford film Mildred Pierce)

Vita wears a lot of heavy silver bracelets, has an enormous cleavage and a deep, gravelly laugh and smells of Rothmans.

I've never heard of anyone called Vita in my life

It means "beef" in Romanian.

It's DD2's middle name.

We were living in Romania when she was born...

Yes

Also reminds me of Vita Sackville West (hers was a nn for Victoria) - has glamorous 1920's Bloomsbury group connotations - artistic/sophisticated/worldly.

Very nice

yep - I'm with your hubby and 2 old ...health drink or crisp bread.....
