Seems too frilly and possibly like a brand.

It’s a bit too sparkly for me.

I like it, its delicate but not too much so.

In the 80s it would just have been a nice break from the endless Christine variants, I guess. Like an Evaletta today, maybe (instead of Evelyn, Avery, etc). Now it seems unique in an appealing way.

I agree with guasguendi, it seems "sober and icy," not colorful or playful. I guess because it reminds me of Crystal (like German Kristall or Spanish cristal) more than it does of Kris- names meaning Christian.

Kinda pretty actually. I’d use Kristella Jeanette.

To me, Kristella is not colourful and glittery, it's sober and icy, but I like it.

If I worked for a toy manufacturer and tasked with naming a group of little fairy dolls, I would definitely name one of them Kristella!

Nah. Christelle is OK, just, but Christella is already over the top, and changing the Ch to a K is the pits.

I like it. Reminds me of other editions to Ella/Bella (Estella, Arabella, etc.)

Don’t like it, sorry.

I don't hate it. I actually really like Lisa Frank's art, and she's had a huge influence on a lot of artists.

Kristella *is* like unicorns and crystals and champagne & caviar dreams and good times...while trying to keep ties to a conversative past and waiting for Prince Charming to swoop in.

It's not my style, but I would have loved to encounter it in the wild—on an academic, no less!

I prefer Christabel, which is a guilty pleasure.

It's ok

It feels very fake and gaudy to me, like very obvious fake jewelry or very strong cheap perfume.

I think it's pretty.
