The best thing about the name Ingrid:
People have said it has an exotic, classic, timeless sense. I've internalized this into my identity and personality. Not many names have that power. I love it! p.s. I'm 25 and I've always been told the name fits me perfectly - even in my teens.

Nothing. I didn't like it when I was very young, but when I saw Casablanca, I fell in love.
