This isn't as easy as it sounds; the ancient Romans had the habit of giving their daughters the female form of the father's name, and if a man called Julius had six daughters, they'd all be Julia.
Of course, there must have been a lot of nicknames in use, but none that we know of. Presumably also there would be Big Julia, Little Julia, New Julia, Julia the First, Julia the Second, Julia the Sixth and such.
Anyway, Christa can be used comfortably as if it was a Latin name. Amor is Latin already, though to the Romans it was just a word (meaning Love), and not a name at all except for the god of love, and like him, it was masculine. Joy ... the closest I can think of is Felicitas, from which the English name Felicity is derived.
Are you just interested, or do you need this information for research purposes?
