Ingrid vs Victoria
Ingrid and Victoriacompared 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

Ingrid and Victoria over time
Ingrid and Victoria appear together in 3 published lists, across 133 years of shared records. Victoria held the stronger position in more years in 2 of them, Ingrid in 1.
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 2 of those lists, Victoria 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.
