Ingrid vs Trina

Ingrid and Trinacompared 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.

England and Wales · Girls
In 2014, Ingrid was ranked #1628 and Trina #5691 among girls in England and Wales.

Ingrid and Trina over time

Ingrid and Trina appear together in 1 published list, across 19 years of shared records. Ingrid held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Trina in 0.

The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.

Ingrid reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Trina 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.
