Comments and insights on the name Christal: | Edit

My name is Christal- and while the name it self is somewhat popular, the spelling is very unique. My parents spelled it this way because I was born near Christmas. I enjoy being called Christal, it is not an offbeat name but it is one that not many people I know have. I have never met anyone who spells it this way.
