Help! Is Anita's real surname really Dels? I thought that DOTH was her surname and DELS is the stage name? Can anyone clarify? This would explain why she was Dels during 2 Unlimited and Doth as a solo artist. Because it doesn't make any sense to change your name to a pseudonym when you become a solo artist.

Well, in those days we knew them by the names Ray & Anita. In some teen magazines I recall their surnames were written as Slijngaard and Doth. On the album jackets also. Stage name was Doth then. UlashimaUlashima 14:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

In the UK, she was definitely known as Dels during the 2 Unlimited period. It said Dels on all the credits to the albums. I'm still unsure as to all this.

I have only known her as Anita Doth, also during the 2 Unlimited period (I'm Dutch). According to this page of the Dutch National Pop Music Institute Anita Dels has performed in three different projects. Being: 2 Unlimited, Divas of Dance and Anita Doth, therefore I assume that Dels must be her real name and Doth the pseudonym. On the site's Divas of Dance page it says this group consist of Linda Estelle, Anita Doth and Des'ray, the latter also being a pseudonym. On this page the three real names are mentioned.

Like the other people mentioned as well. Dels is her official surname and Dots is the stage name. Anita is always named A.D. Dels in the credits in the booklet, eg. 1: "No Limit" 3'44" (P. Wilde, J.P. De Coste, R.L. Slijngaard, A.D. Dels) KittenKlub 16:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnic Origin

Do we know what ethnic origin Anita is? Ray is half Surinamese and half (white) Dutch. Do we have similar details on Anita? Triangle e 12:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ZDF performance Germany

Hi, I remember and also have that video and I must say, this performance is a bit run-of-the-mill. I'll be damned if this is not 100% playback? (yes not even the singing is live, because it appears a little bit too synchronous to be possibly regarded "live"). -andy 80.129.76.188 06:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
