What do you think of the name Sigourney?

The husband mentioned it today as a name he would like (for one of our three due). I thought he was kidding around... but I guess he wasn't. And how would you personally pronounce it? Him and his friend are currently -- as in, right now, three feet behind me -- arguing over how it's pronounced.

I hate it. Very much so. I think Sigourney Weaver would be much better off with her real name, Susan. It's less confusing and more classic.

yeah.. Sigourney sucks massively. i'd pronounce it like she does.... it's sad.

Sig-oar-knee

I think it's interesting, but I'd never use it.

(You're having triplets? Congratulations!)

Yeah, never liked the name. Not a huge fan of the actress either. Bleh.

You're expecting triplets!?! WOW! Exciting! Congrats! I'm sooo jealous!!

[luxury-bus.livejournal.com]

Yep, we're due in April.

But, please, don't be jealous: I feel as if my back is breaking! And my feet are always swollen! I would have much rather preferred a single birth, but I can't help that the hubby and I are... bountiful, to say the least.

I think your icon accurately mirrors the face I make when I hear this name.

(Icon love, btw;))

Tina Fey = massive love.

I'm the minority. I love it.

i'm hiding behind you.. peeking around your shoulder and raising my hand ever so slightly.. i like it too.. lol!

[americandiva.livejournal.com]

I don't like it at all.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I don't like it either.

Sigourney is just so.. strange.
Maybe if it were more common, it would be better, but I don't know.
Everybody would think of Sigourney Weaver when they heard it.

I like names that start with Sig, like Sigrid for example (girl name).
Maybe you could play around with the name :)

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

ah sorry I forgot: I pronounce it SIG-or-nee.
I'm trying to think if it shares sounds with cigar-ette, but no.

Susan Weaver? Are you kidding? Who would ever remember Susan Weaver?

I guess I understand liking the name better itself, but as an actor, ain't not way she'd be "much better off" with Susan.

[bluekoala.livejournal.com]

no*, not "not"

i like it but it would so depend on your last name. sigourney miller/johnson/jones just wouldnt cut it.
