Well, other than "I like this name" I would like to add that when I was a little girl, my dad told me that Sigrid meant "sunset" or "sunrise". I guess I like those two better than the given meanings. Sorry.

How can "sunset" or "sunrise" be better meanings than "beautiful"?

Oh, well. I love this name. I think it's very beautiful.
