Republic of Ireland · Girls
In 2023, Ingrid was ranked #856 and Lola #135 among girls in Republic of Ireland.

In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
Each reached its own highest recorded position first in 1 of the lists they share.
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.
