  1. My mum named me this when I was born in1996. When I was young I never knew anyone with the name. I later met some who spelt in Ch… and in my adult life someone at my hospital spells it with a K and she’s similar age to me. I love my name and love it’s not a common name and if I hear my name being said in person or on tv I put my head up and be shocked to hear the name being said. Only downside you can never get mugs or jewellery with it on??

  3. My mom named me Krista as I was supposed to have been born Christmas Eve. (I was Stubborn!!!) Being of strong faith, she has said their is only 1 Christ, that’s why she put a K instead of Ch…
    I’m honored to be among others with my same spelling.

  4. My mom named me Krista after the fairy on Fern Gully. I only know one other person with my name but it’s spelled “Christa” instead.

  5. I was named Krista because my mom was a caregiver and one of her patient’s granddaughter’s name was Krista. She was a doctor and I want to be an anesthesiologist when I grow up.

  6. My momma picked this name for me! And I must say I’ve only met maybe 3-5 other people with this name and spelt this way. I’ve met a few others but they spell it differently.? What’s really funny is my mom was going to name all of her kids with the letter “D”, but then she saw the name Krista and she fell in love with it. My mom was about to name me Denise!!! ??? Nothing wrong with that name. It just doesn’t suit me whatsoever. It would of went Diana, Darrell & Denise……. Thank goodness it didn’t happen. I feel special being the only one that starts with a K!! Haha

    • My mother spelled mine this way too! She named me after her doctor who’s name is Kristoff.

  7. I chose the name Krista because I loved the biblical meaning of her name. She’s my spunky 9 year old and my big helper with her little brother.
