i LOVE Greta and i actually like Ingrid, too. Ingrid is the name of my Swedish midwife, so it holds a dear place in my heart.

I love Greta and Ingrid and I think they sound wonderful as a sibset. Although I also love Evadne, I don't think it goes well with the other names due to it's origin.

I love both Greta (on its own, yes) and Ingrid, and I think they'd sound gorgeous for sisters. I slightly prefer Ingrid at the moment, though. I'm not sure either one fits terribly well in a sibset with Evadne, but if I had to pick, Evadne and Ingrid sounds a bit better than Greta and Evadne to me, for some reason. :b

Greta could stand alone but it's better as a nickname. If you hate Margaret, what about Marguerite or Margarita / Margherita?

I love Ingrid, and think it would be adorable on a little girl.

---

Both names are lovely with Evadne.

I love both Greta and Ingrid! DH and I have thought about these names before. We both have obsessions with Greta Garbo.

---

I think that Greta can definitely stand on its own, and I think that it is positively a lovely name.

---

I can picture Ingrid on a beautiful girl of any age, even a baby. I've also been thinking a lot about the name Inger, which DH absolutely does not like on account of its being too close to the word 'anger.' *shrugs* I still think it's nice.

---

I don't know if I would pair either Greta or Ingrid with Evadne, to be honest. I just see both of those names in a different class of name, I suppose, so I don't know if I think they would exactly go well together. :-)

Greta is one of my favorite names. It could totally stand on it's own. It reminds me of one of my favorite actresses, Greta Garbo!

---

I dont' like INgred at all, it's not a pretty name in my opinon.

---

All three names have that German sound, that would go well together.

I think Greta could definitely stand on it's own but I like it the best as a nick name for Margaret. I think Ingrid is lovely. With old is new again names being all the rage this season ;) Ingrid could definitely work. I think Ingrid and Evadne is a great set for sisters.

Greta is very cute, and yes, it does stand on its own. I know it's really meant to be short for Margaret, but I never heard of a Greta who was anything other than just Greta. Gretchen is also cute.

---

I'm not fond of Ingrid, it hasa harsh, gritty sound to me. I can only picture a scary old German lady with this name, in spite of the beautiful Ingrid Bergman. Inga is cuter.

---

Together, the names sound very Germanic or Noric, and for that reason Evadne would seem a bit out of place.

I think Greta's fine on its own. it doesn't sound especially nicknamey to me. I don't personally like it a great deal, but it is cute.

---

I like Ingrid and I would love to see it on a little girl. I find it adorable.

---

Evadne (which I love) sounds good with both names, imo. The styles may not really match, but I still think they're nice together.

Greta
Greta is my favourite name for a girl & quite possibly my future daughter's name. Most definitely Greta can stand on its own. I also think it is very suitable for a young girl or an older woman.

---

Ingrid
I adore Ingrid. It's strong & classy. I went to school with a very sweet girl named Ingrid Louise so personally I can picture it on a younger person. Of course it will age well.

---

Both Greta & Ingrid make me think of elegance & grace. I think of Greta Garbo & Ingrid Bergman. I think Greta & Ingrid would make a gorgeous sibset. Evadne seems very current & trendy to me so I wouldn't pair it with timeless names like Greta & Ingrid personally.

Oh, Ingrid is definitely a sweet moniker for a wee lass. It works well on a little one and grows with the child. If you don't think so, just look up a picture of Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway. Definitely a little darling and her name just fits her. :)

---

I think Greta can stand on its own, thanks to Miss Garbo. It's lovely.

---

Of the two names, I think Ingrid works best with Evadne. Both have this mythological aura about them. While Greta is utterly gorgeous, I think it's in a different category altogether than Evadne and each would sound out of place next to the toher.

I love Greta... I had a thread about it about three down. I prefer it as a nickname for Margaret, but I think it could stand alone too.

---

I don't like Ingrid at all, I think it sounds a bit masculine and dull. I much prefer Inga, which is very similar but much more feminine and pretty.
