Hi ladies,
We're still working on a girl's name we both love, and I keep coming back to the name Ingrid. I like how it sounds with our last name and it's a shortened version of my very German grandmother's name, which is Ingeborg.
The only middle names I can think of are Caroline and Catherine, which would mean her initials would be ICK.
Any ideas for middle names that don't make for terrible initials?
Re: middle name for Ingrid?
Elise, Anne, Louise, Jane....
You could spell Catherine with a "K" too...
GL! Names are so fun!!
Ann, Elizabeth, Marie, Jane
I'm a fan of family names for middle names. Ellie has my middle name. If we have another girl, she will probably have my maiden name as a middle name.

I think it sounds best with at least a two-syllable middle name.
Ingrid Elizabeth
Ingrid Marie
Ingrid Loreen
Ingrid Suzanne
Ingrid Kathleen
Ingrid Grace
Ingrid Noel
Ingrid Katherine (I'm a fan because that's my name)
Ingrid Marie
Ingrid Nicole
Ingrid Elizabeth
I really like the PP's suggestion of Elise. So...my choices are...
Ingrid Elise
Ingrid Anne
Ingrid Elizabeth
Ingrid Jane
Very unique name! I grew up in a Wisconsin town with a lot of people of Danish ancestry, and I know a couple of people who used Inge or Inga as a nickname for Ingrid.

Thanks ladies! My favorites are Elise, Elisabeth, and Grace. Elise was our top girl name until we became good friends with a couple who have a 6 year old named Elise. Now we just can't see using it as a first name, but a middle name would work.
And rottie - my grandma Ingeborg goes by Inge.
