I have never in my 43 years heard of anyone else with the first name Sigourney.
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.
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
Nothing on Sigourney Weaver? She played Dr. Venkman's girlfriend in Ghostbusters.
I still find it upsetting that nowhere in the ghostbusters lore have they ever touched on why a ghost randomly gave Ray a blowjob, or how he knew to let it happen.
Like......first off. HOW was that in a kids movie??? Secondly, it's just there. Like the ghost knew Ray wanted it, and Ray knew to let it happen. Then the movie just moves on, and other than Ray being embarassed to explain he had it happen, it's never mentioned again.
And speaking of not making sense....the second movie starts off with the city of NYC not believing in ghosts. They JUST had a 50 foot marshmellow man make global news a few years earlier! It would have made more sense for them to be out of business because they think all the ghosts have been busted, and therefore nobody hires them. Instead, we see people snickering and calling them crockpots.
Just imagine if in 2008 nobody remembered 9/11 and called TSA crazy for thinking planes could be hijacked. Thats the level of news coverage a 50 foot tall marshmellow man destroying NYC would get.
And and and!!! What about at the end of the movie when they cross the streams, and blow up a building in NYC, but are somehow perfectly fine afterwards? And then Winston yells I LOVE NEW YORK!!!
Why did he yell that? That makes no sense! The mayor spent the whole movie trying to shut you down. The citizens treat you like criminals. The city has attracted an invasive species of afterlife spirits that seek to kill you. You just attempted a move that had a 50/50 chance of destroying the universe. And AFTER surviving a massive bomb on the roof of a building, you randomly yell that out.
Ya know what? Winston had a concussion. I'm going with that. It's the only thing that makes any sense. He's suffering from a concussion and doesn't know what's going on.
So how's your guys day going? I'm doing fine as you can see. I'm clearly not a lunatic.
She wasn't his girlfriend. He found her interesting because she was a client, and she slept above the covers.
Four feet above the covers.
That's Susan Weaver.
Funny that they're all in entertainment.
Trask Industries, wolverine creator.
Originating from French, the first name Sigourney carries a powerful and compelling meaning: The Conqueror.
Oh, so there really was only room for one Sigourney.
im ok with that
Those name origin sites are full of ai slop.
I could find no 'conqueror' connotation, only that the name refers to the French town Sigournais.
Somehow it's conflated with German Sigi, present in Sigismund, but that German root isn't part of the toponymy of the town.
I bet it sounds a lot better when spoken in French too
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.
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.
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.
I've had this exact thought!
the famous actress Sigourney Weaver? (Alien franchise)
Yeah, that's the one we all know. The sole Sigourney.
The Sigourneylarity.
The singular Sigourney.
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.
theres a women called Sojourner Truth.
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.
Is it not a historical name? Like people have great great grandparents with this name maybe?
Her name was Susan or did she not change it?
