[Opinions] Vita / Vida
I had a dream last night that I adopted a little girl named Vita (or Vida...not sure) and when I woke up I told my SO about it and we decided we actually really like the name :) I'm not sure which spelling I like though. He said he likes Vita better and I think I do too after spelling them both out. Which do you like better?
How does it go with my other names?
Arlo William
Clover May
Clara Louise
Vita / Vida

Vita means life in Latin. -nods-
I like the spelling Vita better than Vida; it looks more regal, straight-edged. I like Vita with Arlo and Clover, but I'm a little iffy about Clara and Vita for some reason. The more I say the two together, though, the better they seem to fit. I thikn Vita is really lovely. It feels very Victorian - short and sweet but still sassy.
I second Vitalia, at that!

Vita reminds me of the British writer Vita Sackville-West. I think her full name was Victoria. It has an arsty, intellectual vibe that I dig. I never knew it was derived from Vitus. Thanks for the new knoweldge. :-)
Vida is nice too. It reminds me of Matthew McConnaghy's (sp?) dd Vida. They named her for the Spanich word for life, which I thought was pretty sweet.
If I were choosing between the two, it would depend on which vibe I wanted: Northern European, crisp Vita or Mediterranean, sultry Vida. I don't know if you have different ways of looking at the two so I can't really say which is better for you. For what it's worth, I can see both Vita and Vida fitting into your spunky sibling set quite easily.
