Personal experiences with the name Anita: | Edit

Anita bonita, Anita mamcita

My name is Anita and I love it. I have only ever met two other Anita's before and one of them was spelt Annita. I believe a person will make a name special. They don't become special from having a particular name. I feel special that I have so many nick names people use for my name and feel comfortable calling me "Neet" or "neety" after knowing me only a short while. The nickname used amongst my closest friends is "Anitapee". Using the name Anita i'd suggest a middle name with fewer syllables for example mine is Rochelle Only one less syllable than my first name but still it helps to balance it out.
