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.
