Christa

For some reason, I'm loving Christa at the moment. I know it's considered an 80s/90s name in the US (where I'm from), but I find it sprightly and punchy, and the association with the German author Christa Wolf lends it some gravitas. What do you think?

Some combos:

Christa Hermione (my favorite)
Christa Melpomene
Christa Eulalie
Christa Phoebe
Christa Euphrosyne
Christa Muriel
Christa Lalage
Christa Beatrice
Christa Juliet
Christa Winifred
Christa Rosalind / Rosaline
Christa Rosalie
Christa Marguerite
Christa Cecilia / Cecily
Christa Eugenie / Eugenia
Christa Verity
Christa Maude
Christa Helen
Christa Josephine
Christa Lolita
Christa Leontine

I think it's quite dated but that's makes it interesting to me. I like its simplicity. I like Christa Helen, Christa Josephine, Christa Juliet, Christa Maude, and Christa Verity from your list.

I'm on the fence. I liked it for a time, but 'Chris' names all end up grating after a while.

Christa Phoebe is the best combo to me. Also Christa Leonie.

Actually really love Christa Maud and Christa Rosalie. In fact, the only ones I don't really care for at all are Christa Euphrosyne and Christa Lalage.
