[Opinions] Ingeborg & Inger
I've been reading Ingeborg Bachman's work and am swooning over her name—I love its antique stateliness. I've also been thinking a lot about Inger after watching Carl Theodor Dreyer's Ordet, in which Inger is the main female character. What do you think of Ingeborg and Inger?Some combos:Ingeborg Estella

Ingeborg Alice
Ingeborg Susanna

I am not a big fan of Ingeborg but I like Inge, Inge is a feminine name in Germany and I think it has a better sound than ingeborgInger is fine but I still prefer Ingrid or Inge over Inger
Not a fan of either. As a Swede I fond them both very dated - usually names of my grandmother’s friends. Ingeborg is also a bit mouthful, and Inger a bit harsh.
I like Inger, but prefer Ingrid. Inger Leonora
Inger Violetta
Inger Helena...would prefer Inger Helene
Inger Elena
I don't like either, I'd prefer Ingrid
I don't enjoy Inger. Ingeborg is fine in its own place and language. For general use, I much prefer Ingrid.
Ingeborg is oddly cozy despite sounding very dated, I actually like it. As for Inger, I want to like it as well, but it sounds too masculine. My favourite is Ingrid, though.Combos I like:Ingeborg Estella
