hi everybody! i haven’t been on nameberry that often but i would like to introduce you to my newest name crush . . .
ingrid
she’s everything i love in a name, she’s clunky but not overly, full of nickanmes and just adorable*! so i do have a few questions for you . . .
1. What middle name would you give her if she had one month middle name. (Example: [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Selah[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] _____ [name_f]June[/name_f] or [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]July[/name_f] _____)
2. What vibes do you think [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] gives?
3. Favourite nickname? My favourites are [name_f]Inga[/name_f], [name_f]Indie[/name_f] and [name_m]Iggy[/name_m]
I love [name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]June[/name_f] the best out of all the month names, so I’d be inclined to pick them! If I were to choose from my lists, maybe I’d go with [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], or [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Marlowe[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f]. However, she also gives me major autumn vibes, so maybe [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] for fun!
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is sooooo adorable- she feels very clunky and sweet to me. A little cozy, nice and sturdy, with plenty of quirk. I picture a little [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] with pigtails and thick knit socks. Maybe a reader, definitely a crafter, and a lover of crisp fall and winter air.
[name_m]Iggy[/name_m] is absolutely precious, I’d never thought of that one before! [name_f]Inga[/name_f] is also sweet, but I think [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] is my favourite!
For me I always see [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] as an autumnal choice so I would go [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] as I feel this would fit the whole vibe of [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Selah[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] from your list she’s so elegant.
I think [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is beautiful. She’s graceful, sleek and romantic with a crisp late autumnal flair really pretty name.
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is clunky but cute. I picture a self-sufficient, independent woman who milks cows and tends to her garden and lives in a cottage. Which I think is a lovely vision to invoke. [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is also precious for a little girl too.
I love [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] too, though I don’t think I’ve given her enough attention!
With a month middle, I like [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] and [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]July[/name_f] on their own, but I also love [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f], and [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] [name_f]Sage[/name_f]!
I also think she would work with day-of-the-week middles… [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] or [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f]. I think my favorite [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] combo would be [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
Artsy, literary, cozy, somehow both black cat and golden retriever at the same time if that makes any sense haha. It’s definitely a name I can picture on a little girl, teenager, adult, old woman, etc.
[name_f]Indie[/name_f], one of my all-time favorite nicknames!! I like that she could also be [name_f]Inga[/name_f] (more mature) or [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] (more tomboy-ish) if she chooses
of all the month names, my personal favorite is june. from my favorite names, some combinations i like are ingrid delilah june, ingrid adela june, ingrid lilia june, ingrid anya june.
ingrid is a very “strong”-sounding name to me that conjures images of misty fjords and waterfalls. i picture a girl with two thick blonde braids, a bit athletic and outdoorsy. i think i’m just imagining “how to train your dragon” tbh but that’s not a bad thing at all- i love that scandinavian imagery!
i like indie the best overall, iggy might be a second choice for me. i think inga is the most intuitive but i personally don’t like the sound of it as much.
