Anita is nice enough.
Julia is very mid-range and unremarkable to me.
Leota (lee-OH-tah?) is interesting, not bad.
Petronilla isn't for me but Nilla is cute.
Xanthippe is probably good for something, somewhere.
Anita - It's fine but I prefer Anna or Anne.Julia - It's cute and very pretty in my opinion.Leota - I'm not a fan but I prefer Leona.Petronilla - It's beautiful but I won't used it. I just prefer Petra or Priscilla.Xanthippe - I'm not a big fan for this name also I won't used it.

I prefer Anne to Anita and Juliet to Julia. Leota is a new one on me, and I don't expect to see it again. It looks like the top half of a leotard. Petronella shortens to Nella, which I for one prefer to Nilla. Xanthippe is fine for people with a good reason to use a Greek name; include me out.

Anita and Julia are fine. Leota is okay too.
Petronilla and Xanthippe are not my favorites.
Anita - I like it. I'm reminded of 101 Dalmatians when I hear it and relate it to the character moreso than the few Anitas I've met. It feels uncommon but classic.Julia - I like it. I've always LOVED the nickname "Jules". It's one of my favorites lol It also feels classic but unlike Anita, it feels more common. I've met and known a lot of Julia's and its variations. Leota - I like it. I'm reminded of Madame Leota from Disney's Haunted Mansion ride though lol I don't know if it's too usable because it's so rare and unusual and known for that specific thing... I do like it though. It reminds me of the likes of Leona, which I love. Petronilla - I like it. I'm not a fan of Nilla as a nm though, I just think of Nilla Wafers lol I prefer Petra for a nn, but I LOVE the name Petra, it's one of my favorites.Xanthippe - Love this, it's fun and unique, though I hate the association with a nagging woman... how many people I wonder think of that though? I had to look it up to find that out. My first thought is it's just a fun, classical Greek name. I love Greek names.

Anita is ok, I like Annika more
Julia is ok, I prefer Yuliya or at least pronounciation with y not dzh.
Leota - what pronounciation. leh-oh-tah? lee-oh-tah? I like first, second is okay.
Petronilla I do not like, or Nilla. But I like Petra.
Xanthippe I do not like, Xanthe I like more. ksahn-teh.
