Helpin all fairness ...
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
Delaware also has the Christina River and a Christina School District, so Christina is also a place name. However, Christina is used much more often as a person's name here (and just about everyplace else) than Christiana.

Yep, sounds right. I've only even known one Christiana (and she was German), but I've known lots of Christinas. Since the Christiana I know pronounces her name with a German accent, I think I prefer that over the typical American pronunciation. Or at least I think there would be more confusion on how to pronounce Christiana here in PA since it's not a place name here. In Delaware, I guess you'd automatically get the place pronunciation.
