Christine and Ingridcompared 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.

Christine and Ingrid over time

Christine and Ingrid appear together in 3 published lists, across 142 years of shared records. Christine held the stronger position in more years in 2 of them, Ingrid in 1.

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

Christine reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 2 of those lists, Ingrid in 1. 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.
