Inger

We're thinking of the girl's name Inger. What do you all think about it? And would you pronounce it as Ing-ger (with a g like in goal) or just Ing-er (with just ng like in ring)?

    I’d pronounce it like the ring variant and think it’s a fun, original name, but I wouldn’t choose it myself because I think it’d cause a lot of hassle with spelling and pronunciation—people might think it’s Inge or interpret it differently, etc.

    I would pronounce it like the ring variant. But sorry, I don't find it beautiful. Then just go with Inge.. or totally another name if you don't like Inge.

    I’d go with Inger. It’s way hipper than the somewhat old-fashioned Inge.
    Or maybe it’s because I already know two Ingers, so I don’t find the name weird at all.
    Both Ingers are pronounced like “ring.”
    But I personally think the Ing-ger variant sounds nicer.
