It's been rising in popularity in the US. I did several polls on it as a FN in 2019, and the response was consistently lukewarm ("it's usable" or "like it").
I've been liking all the *rid names lately. I started liking
Astrid a few years ago; now I like
Ingrid and
Sigrid.
...they just seem so sturdy and tidy or something - succinct, with character. Like
Ruth or
Esther but less religious.
Or maybe like
Charlotte /
Edith /
Irene ...but more Scandinavian.

I feel like it combines well with almost anything.
