It's a cool name. I think I will name a future son to that.
It sounds very unique, IMO. Not like a fully Slavic language at least, as our friend Kalle likes to claim.Yes, it must be. I've heard many interesting variants about how Latvian sounds like - Finnic, French, Slavic, Germanic, Hungarian ect.

They are not international. I've never heard about Russian Ivar, German, Gunnar.Polish Ingmar or French Signe. They are typical for the Baltic region (Baltic + Scandinavian) countries. btw, Latvian and Russian names differ a lot, the same goes to our surnames.
and Kristīne + long ī (ii) not your Russian Kristina.
One example:
Swedish Ingmar - Latvian Ingmārs. Ing + mārs, and Māris/Māra are really typical Latvian names. Māra is of Baltic origin, it's even a name of one of our Baltic deities.

The word 'Germanic' is likely Celtic in origins, meaning something like 'neighbour' or 'foreigner', brought to us via Latin. /offtopic Germans call themselves Deutschen.
But it's true that Frankish names are different from Norse ones.
