  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.

      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?

      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]

  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)

    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

    I’ve met 2 other people called Moon, as well as some Divas and Ahmets. No Dweezils (although his actual given name is Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa)

    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 Signourney 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.
