Comments for the name Christa

This is Brooke Shields´s middle name.

Very pretty name but I prefer the spelling Krista.

I love this name! It sounds so pretty.

Christa McAuliffe is the teacher that died in the rocket disaster.

Love it! Not too popular and very pretty.

It's a really akward-sounding name, if you want to give your girl a Christian name, name her Christina.

Christa Miller is an actress in the American series called Scrubs and plays the wife/girlfriend of Perry Cox.

Christa Päffgen (aka Nico from The Velvet Underground and Warhol's Factory crowd) was a bearer of this name. She was a musician and model.

I personally think that Christabel is a far better form of this name. Christa can be a nickname instead, as people automatically shorten it.

I think that my name is quite unique. I like it.

I can't decide whether I prefer it spelled Christa or Crista. I have seen both.

This name is also used frequently in The Netherlands; I myself even happen to know a middle-aged Dutch woman with this name.

Christa Pike is the first female to be put on death row in Tennessee. But I still like the name CHRISTA.

I think it sounds awkward and incomplete. Christina is already a shortened form of Christiana, so Christa is a shortened, shortened form, which is too short for my taste. On the plus side, it sounds fresh, like ice crackling in sparkling lemonade on a hot day. I knew a Christa. She was nice, if a little ditzy. Still, if you want a really cute name, go with Christabel.

Sharon Christa McAuliffe. She was in the Challenger when it exploded. She was part of the "teacher in space" project.

The name Christa was given to 90 baby girls born in the US in 2012. The spelling Krista is currently more popular.
