Personal experiences with the name Zita: | Edit

My name is Zita. Sometime, I do get called Zits and I don't like it. I hate being called like that. It's not my name. I keep telling them, "IT'S ZITA, NOT ZITS". So, when people call me Zits, I ignore them. But having Zita as a name is not that bad. It's a beautiful name and kinda unique because only few people have that name, especially here in the Philippines.
