Looks amputated. I keep expecting a long name, and then it suddenly stops. And the only Christa I know is a hectic go-getter who cuts corners ... not the best!
Christa is the only spelling I could imagine enjoying; I wouldn't consider it, though, because it suggests a firm religious position that I don't hold.
What about Christabel?

I prefer the more elaborate and elegant Christabel, but Christa is all right. I prefer the Christa spelling rather than Krista for some reason. It seems neater.
I like it. I like Krista much better. I only personally knew one Krista, an internet friend of many years. She's around 42 I think. I guess the name is kind of dated but since it was not so popular as, say, Heather or Brittany, and its use has been spread out over a longer period, it doesn't seem as dated as those names.
Dated.
I like Christiana/e a lot, though.

I used to really like it, as sort of a GP, in the 80s/90s. I still like it. After Cristina, Christa is probably my second favorite Chris name.
Christa McAuliffe... died in Challenger accident.
The name was really common in my generation (born 70s). I don't think it is "too" dated to use. It was a GP because in my personal experience, it and the other Chris/Kris names were the typical names for girls who were several shades more goody-two-well-heeled-shoes than myself. I like Christa a tiny bit better than Krista. The K makes it less snooty, and makes it not have Christ in it. I just like the crunchy-ice-cream feeling of the ch and st together.
