I’m sure there must be some out there, but in the English speaking world I’d say it’s the most unique name I’ve heard.
Neither has sigourney weaver, seeing as her name is Susan. Wikipedia says she took it frk. The great Gatsby at 14
Yeah, the only place I heard it was from that story, Sigourney Howard, a peripheral character. No other Sigourneys ever (in my experience).
I’m sure somebody must know a real one.
Please stand up.
Please stand up.
I’m Si-gourney
Yes I’m the real 'gourney
All those other Si-gourneys
Are starting to bore me
So won’t the real Sigourney
Please stand up
Is it not a historical name? Like people have great great grandparents with this name maybe?
There is Sultana al-Sigurnai of the Ummayad Caliphate, but I don’t know if that name would have been quite as popular in Western countries because I just made that up
Her name was Susan or did she not change it?
Susan Alexandra “Sigourney” Weaver (/sɪˈɡɔːrni/ si-GOR-nee; born October 8, 1949) is an American actress. Prolific in film since the late 1970s, she is known for her pioneering portrayals of action heroines in blockbusters and for her various roles in independent films.[3][4][5]
Wikipedia has a couple of them! Sigourney Thayer was an American theatre producer born 1896, Sigourney Trask was an American missionary born 1849, and Sigourney Bandjar is a Surinamese footballer born 1984
Trask Industries, wolverine creator.
I think Moon Unit Zappa might have one of the most unique names. Or perhaps her brother Dweezil Zappa. There’s a lot of countries that wouldn’t even allow a child to be named that. (thank goodness)
I’ve met 3 other people called Moon, as well as some Divas and Ahmets. No Dweezils (although his actual given name is Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa)
actually, the nurses refused to allow frank zappa to name his son dweezil, so he put down the names of a couple roadies and band members. once dweezil was about 5 years old and found out he was originally going to be named dweezil, he demanded they change his name officially to dweezil
Dweezil is an amazing name
Hell of an underrated guitarist, too.
I know a Sigourney in real life. But I think she might have been named after the actress.
Good thing she wasn’t a boy. They were going to name them Rodney, after Dave.
but in the English speaking world I’d say it’s the most unique name I’ve heard.
Probably because it actually a French surname, which is itself based on a place name in France that no longer exists… and it is not her actual given name, but something she adopted from a character in The Great Gatsby.
Damn your right
I have met 2 people with it as middle names though
*you’re
*sigyou’reney
Sigourney Weav’r
I’ve had this exact thought!
theres a women called Sojourner Truth.
the famous actress Sigourney Weaver? (Alien franchise)
Yeah, that’s the one we all know. The sole Sigourney.
The Sigourneylarity.
The singular Sigourney.
Thats who they’re talking about.
Are you guys talking about Sigourney Weaver?
Weaver. Sigourney Weaver. Shaken not stirred.
That’s an assumed name though, it’s not her real first name.
No, the other Sigourney that doesn’t exist and no one knows about.
