Ingrid vs Vilde
Ingrid and Vilde compared 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 2025, Ingrid was ranked #15 and Vilde #32 among girls in Norway.
Ingrid and Vilde over time
Higher on the chart is a stronger position. The scale is logarithmic, so the gap from #1 to #10 is drawn as large as the gap from #100 to #1,000.
Ingrid and Vilde over time
Ingrid and Vilde appear together in 1 published list, across 52 years of shared records. Ingrid held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Vilde in 0.
In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
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.
