HelpChrista
What do you think of Christa? It seems fresh and spunky to me right now, not as tired and long as Christine and Christina.
What do you think of Christabel?
Do you prefer Christa or Krista?

I think Christa sounds a bit harsh, standoffish and snooty. I prefer Christie or Christy to it, even though I'm generally not a fan of diminutives.
As for full Christ- names, my vote goes to Christiana.

Christa is nice enough, not something I'd use but not unattractive. I prefer the look of it to Krista. I've never met one with any spelling.
I don't dislike any Chris-names, but they all feel dated. I've never met a British Christine or Christina under 60, & my aunt Christina was born in the 1940s. Christabel is too long and elaborate for me. If I had to pick one I'd use Christina, as a middle name after the aunt.

I prefer Krista and think both are pretty, but they sound a little dated to me. I don't like Christobel - it's just too much for me. I think Christine is my favorite "Chris" name, because it seems the least dated to me.

Christina/Kristina is my favorite Chris name, and one of my favorite names overall. Christa/Krista is also very cute, but I prefer Krista.
Christabel is too puffed up.

First person that comes to mind is Christa McAuliffe. Anyone wanting to name their kid after an astronaut could definitely use this name.

I'd lump Christa in with Christine in a 1970-ish way, whereas to me Christina seems a bit more current.
I adore Christabel, although I'm not usually keen on those made up Romantic names. I think it's very melodious and of course there's the Pankhurst association. I'd use it...
Christa over Krista, just as I'd choose Christina over Cristina, having neither Nordic or Mediterranean roots

I far prefer Christabel; Christa isn't exactly fresh where I live, and the only one I've ever known was/is a crook, so ...
Krista looks cheap.
Two of my great-grandmothers were named Christiana! So if I ever used a Chris- name, I might consider it, but only ever as a mn and frankly not even then. Too long, too clunky, too inappropriate for a household of cheerful atheists!

I love Krista. The name was mostly used a few decades ago but the only one I personally know is 17.
Christabel is cute and sweet, the perfect name for a fairy princess. I wouldn't use it but if I heard it I'd probably think it was really pretty and definitely stands out.
I like most of the Chris/Kris- names but my favorite is Kristin.

The vibe I get from Christa is like a cross of Kristen and Trista. It also reminds me of Caitlin for some reason. It doesn't seem fresh to me.
I don't like "a Christian" as a meaning, so none of the Chris- names are really my style. Christabel is the only one I sort of like despite that.
The C vs K doesn't make a difference to me by itself, but I most like Christa as a NN for Christabel, so I'll say I prefer the C.
