Ingrid

I don’t hear this name often, it’s an old name but I really think it’s gorgeous.

I love the way this name sounds.

I like this name a lot. It gives me vintage antique vibes. The “roughness” gives it character, in my opinion.

Classy sounding name with an untruthful and disgusting meaning, if the one presented here is really its meaning, but redeemed by Saint Ingrid. It's worth being named after her, and not in homage of a false god/demon.

Magdalena, chill with the whole false god/demon thing. To me, it doesn't take anything away from the name itself, which I think is pretty. But seriously, it's just a Germanic god, nothing to worry about.

I like it. It was almost my name, and I'm planning to use it if I ever have a daughter. I do agree, it does sound kind of rough, but the classiness and beautiful meaning makes up for it.

I love how this looks and its uniqueness, but I dislike the difficult pronunciation.

This is a very beautiful and classical name in my opinion. Pretty but also grounded. I always imagine a very intelligent and thoughtful young woman. In the US where I am at you hear it less often but it definitely stands out and makes a positive impression when you do come across it. I think it is an excellent name for anyone considering it.

One of the best girl names there is.

Very sleek and elegant name.

Just W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L.

Absolutely beautiful.

The meaning of this name is wonderful, Ing's a beauty. Ing being the name of an ancient goddess. Yes this name is considered an old ladies name and it is uncommon outside of Europe, but that doesn't make it a bad name to name your daughter with all the old fashioned names from the 20s coming back into style...the name fits in with all those Eleanor's Evelyn's etc. while still being uncommon.
This is one of my favorite Scandinavian names for girls.

It's a beautiful and timeless name. I find it easy to pronounce.

My great- aunts' name! I kind of like it and kind of don't...

Strong name for strong women! Serious, mature, just an amazing name! It ages well, unlike many trendy, silly names that just don't. Going strong as an example name Ingrid! Good name.

Ingrid is very popular in Sweden, but it's one of my most favorite girl's names.

Oof, I feel like I’m the minority here. I don’t think I could ever use the name Ingrid, for some reason. But I think it’s cool on a fictional character, and I love the meaning, I love how unique and exotic it is.

Very pretty! It makes me think of a woman who is elegant but also very fierce and tough.

Ingrid has become my favorite name and would love to name my daughter Ingrid someday! I became in love with this name after a cartoon character who’s name was Ingrid Third from an old Disney show called Fillmore! My rescue cat’s name is also Ingrid because I love the name so much :) sometimes I wish my name was Ingrid!

Ingrid is a lovely name! It's pretty and feminine without being frilly and it's very classic.

Pretty and exotic.

I used to hate this name with a burning passion, but now it's one of the possible names of my daughter.

I love this name. Sounds so robust and a name a strong girl would have. I also like Ingride. I know the e doesn’t contribute to anything but it looks nice. One of my favorite names.

I love this name! It sounds so cute but tough ❤.

Ingrid Bergman is also a song by Woody Guthrie, recorded by Billy Bragg and Wilco on their album Mermaid Avenue. It is about the actor.

My name is Ingrid because my family is Swedish. I never thought it was that good of a name because it sounded rough and old ladyish (other people's words). But now I am glad that I have that name, and never want to change it.

Ingrid is such an exotic name. It calls to mind a mysterious woman who is feminine and charming. The sound of this name is like classical music and the image that I get from Ingrid is of a very sophisticated woman.

I used to not like this name but it's growing on me. I especially like the Norwegian pronunciation, "ing-ree."

I love it when people have a unique beginning letter in their first name. This name is a perfect example of that and it is a strong yet beautiful name.

I really like this name, but I don't like its meaning. Just my personal thing, for the like and dislike.

Strange and rough sounding.

I think Ingrid is the best name to ever be named. It is sooooooooo classy and coool and koz and epic, more epic than a unicorn riding a snowboard on lava. Everybody who doesn't love the name Ingrid are stupid and should go home and cry.

My name is Ingrid and I love it! Even if it is just a name, it is part of their identity and a part of who they are.

Ingrid is the name of my cousin's wife. She likes her name and frequently jokes about it. We frequently call her Inga for short.

Ingrid is a wonderful name to have. I prefer the German pronunciation. I have visited several countries and have received nothing but positive reactions to it. I only had a small bit of bullying in middle school when people would call me "immigrant" or "ignorant". Only my mother calls me "Inga" or "Inga-Minga". One small downside is that no one could figure out what to do with my name when we played the name game in school. Since I am a successful well-traveled adult the bullying didn't hold me back. :)

This is my mum's name, and I like how it is feminine but not weak or soppy. It sounds like someone who works hard, just like my mum.

I really like how it's pretty, but not overly feminine.

Like it! (:
Love the combo of Ingrid Maera.

It's such an ugly pretty name and I kind of like it!

All of me loves all of Ingrid.

I love this name, but it always makes me think of Ingrid Michaelson (a singer) or Ingrid Ashley (a news reporter from the Captain Underpants books).

Pretty. Sounds a little like Imogene, which I don't like so much.

We named our daughter Ingrid, born in 2010. We get nothing but compliments on her name: that it is unique and beautiful. We chose it because it is uncommon but familiar, and because my husband's background is Scandinavian, as is his/her last name.

I like Ingrid, though I don't think it could be used (at least in the USA) without the child being teased or aggravated about her name.

Ingrid sounds so classy. I was gonna be called Ingrid but my dad didn't like it so I'm stuck with it as my middle name.

This name, like a lot of other names, is old fashioned and is a perfect fit for an old lady or grandma. It has no charm nor does it sound feminine. There is nothing to like about this name, besides the meaning, but what good does that do if the sound is ugly.

I think this name is odd... it seems kind of harsh... but that's somehow its charm. And it somehow becomes really beautiful in that. It's very unusual outside of European countries, and there aren't many nicknames for it. Therefore, it's not something bullies would be able to make fun of that easily. I'd definitely recommend this name.

Really pretty name! But the meaning is a little silly.

This name is growing on me. I used to think of "ingrate" when I heard the name, but I'm liking it. "Innie" would definitely be an interesting nickname.

My grandmother's name is Ingrid. Her mother immigrated to the United States from Norway, but in my lifetime, I've only ever heard her name pronounced "ING-grid" (as a typical American would say it) rather than the Scandinavian pronunciations I've seen here.

---

I also know a few elderly German ladies with this name. I think I much prefer the German and Scandinavian pronunciations to the American one.

---

I have trouble picturing the name on anyone my own age, but having just met someone a year below me in school with the name, perhaps my perception will change. :)

My middle name is Ingrid (Zoe Ingrid). I think it is really nice and unique.

I like the name itself, very pretty, classy and chic. I know someone called Ingrid, a shoppaholic and fashionista, very intense and funny person.

It is a nice sounding name, but a little too common for me to use.

I love this name! I don't know why. I'm using it as the main character's name in my story. I don't know why but I could even imagine myself with this name instead of Ashley because Ashley is more of a stereotypical name and Ingrid means beautiful. I love that. I'm gonna consider this for my daughter.

A very strong and classy name. Somewhat old-fashioned but it's coming back in style. I hate the ING-grit pronunciation. I prefer ING-rid.

I don't see what's so bad about this name. I quite like it. Just because it's not an ultra-feminine name like Rose or Caitlin doesn't make it a bad name. Though I'm not the hugest fan of the ING-grit pronunciation, I hear this often pronounced ING-grid.

Could a name get more atrocious than this? I think not.

My name is Ingrid, I really don't get why people don't like it! I sometimes do get teased, but I don't mind the name. Very few people have it nowadays. I sometimes go by Ing, or Ingy.

I'm not too fond of the name Ingrid. It makes me think of a scientist.

I think this name is so pretty and classy! I would use this name, and use the nickname of Inga!

My name is Ingrid and I really love it. People always tell me how classic it is. I like it and am proud to have it and to people who are having daughters I would recommend it because it is very strong as well as lovely. I would much rather have the name Ingrid than a bubble gum trailer park name like Tiffany.

This name calls to mind a Nordic beauty.

My name is Ingrid and I hate it. It's so uncommon that they don't have my name anywhere or on anything and I think it's ugly too. My brother calls me Pidrid. My friends call me Ingi for short and I like that name. But I wish I were called by my middle name: Elizabeth.

It's my favorite girl name. Also, I love the nicknames for Ingrid: Inzy and Iggy and Nessie.

---

Nessie has nothing in common with Ingrid; it just happens to be one of my favorite nicknames for a girl.

I'm not sure if I like it. I think it's lovely as a middle name, but too harsh for a first name. Also, a girl at my school had this nickname, and people called her "In-bred".

I like this name. In my mind, it's a very icy-green color. The fact that it means beautiful is just another plus. Much better than the boring old Linda, anyways.

This name is very harsh, and is just plain ugly. This name makes me think of a witch with a wart at the end of her noise. I feel sorry for anyone with this name.

I think Ingrid is a very wonderful name. I like the fact that it is not a popular name, but at the same it is a nice name.

I love this name. The only thing that bothers me is there isn't really a nickname for that. Growing up with the name Tara I never could really have a nickname while all the other kids did. Le sigh. Anyway, I love Ingrid Bergman and I love the film, White Oleander. I love Ingrid and Astrid, both seem like vintage names but nice. I don't pronounce it in-grit. I pronounce it: in-grid. Exactly how it's spelt. Maybe a nice middle name.

It's a classy, pretty name!

I like it for some reason. It's so classical.

I don't like the name Ingrid, it just sounds ugly.

Gorgeous name! Classic, pretty without frills, uncommon yet recognizable, and so strong - it's a great moniker all around.
