Kinga doesn't work in English. Inga is acceptable but not a favourite.

I like Inga, but not Kinga

I prefer Kinga in Polish but Inga in an English speaking context for obvious reasons.

This comparison really got me thinking about why I really enjoy Kinga while finding the sound of the almost identical Inga so off-putting. And I'm not sure. I think it has something to do with how the i softening the initial k balances the heavy sounds of ng, while the initial i on its own almost disappears.

Inga is okay, not huge on it, not a fan of Kinga.

Don't like either

As a sibset? Kind of obnoxious. I'm not really a fan of the names by themselves but they are a lot better separate.
