Re: Christiana
in reply to a message by Perrine
I'd pick Christiana without hesitation, but I'd never use it, not being Christian myself and not expecting my children to follow that or indeed any religion.
I've never seen Christa and I'm hoping I never will. It looks like an amputation. Christina is blandly pretty. I prefer the sound of Christabel, but I wouldn't use it either. I've got two great-grandmothers named Christiana, one with no mn and the other was Christiana Margaret, which is why I would pick it, but the appearance and the meaning are why I'd never use it.
