Asta vs Ingvil

Asta and Ingvilcompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.

Head to head

Ranks are only compared within one published list and one year. Two ranks from different years, from a boys' and a girls' list, or from different registrars are not comparable, so they are not placed side by side.

  • Norway · Girls

    In 2008, Asta was ranked #496 and Ingvil #596 among girls in Norway.

Asta and Ingvil over time

Asta and Ingvil appear together in 1 published list, across 21 years of shared records. Asta held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Ingvil in 0.

In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.

Ingvil reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Asta in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.

Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
