My ex's recently deceased grandma, mentioned on my Lounge post, was named Anita. Her full name was Anita Dorothy.I kinda like it.What you think of the name Anita? How about the combo Anita Dorothy?

Anita Dorothy...flows really well. And I actually like it.
I'd never use Anita simply because I have a cousin with the name already (Anita Kay).

Anita is kind of cute, lively. I like Dorothy too but not paired with Anita, it just seems a bit too long.The only trouble I see with Anita is you have to be careful about last names, so you don't end up with Anita Mann, Anita Gunn, Anita Beer or Anita Walker.

I don't like it. It seems prickly, and I have two undesirable Anita associations.Anitra, on the other hand, I would not mind seeing.

Anita is a nn to me and to top that, I hear, "I need a ..." :-) The whole combo does flow nicely although I'd be more inclined to go with something like Anna Dorothea.

I think it's dated. Dorothy is charming! I would use Dorothy, it's so adorable. I don't mind Anita but would use it in the middle. Dorothy Anita.

Anita was quite popular in my generation, so I'm not wowed by it. I do like it better than many other names that were popular at the same time.
Not a fan of Dorothy, but Anita Dorothy does flow well.
