When Tohru-chan used his first name, it was annoying until it became endearing (in an annoying, best-friend-teasing kind of way). When Clarke uses his first name, it's a token of friendship (as well as the fact he failed to nip it in the bud, but telling her to knock it off when she just revived from her first death seemed tasteless).
When Rita says his name, though... it's Intimate in a way he never felt before. When Rita says his name, it doesn't sound girly or old-fashioned but special, like she can make it lovely just by being her.
His smile is audible against her ear.]
...I just found out another thing. I like when you say my name.
