Heard an interesting name at the pedi's office.

Signe (pronounced sig-nee). It means "new victory." I love the meaning, but the name itself is totally NMS. WDYT?

There is an actress named Signe (she might spell it Signy, which may not be legit) Coleman. It's NMS, but at least it's a legitimate name.

I went to HS with a Signe but she pronounce SIG-neh.  Her parents were Scandinavian so I always thought that was the "correct" pronunciation.  Does anyone know different?

I know a Siney. She is older--probably 65.

I've heard it before... but just on this board. I kinda like it!

I went to school with someone who pronounced it Sig-nay.  It's NMS, but not horrible either.

I've never heard of it.  I'm not a fan.

I know a woman with this name. I like it better than Sydney.

She'll have trouble spelling it out for people and people will assume it's Sidney. I grew up with an unusual first name "Hollan" my mother's maiden name, but got so exhausted correcting people and spelling it out and being called "Holly" by accident that I eventually switched my middle and first names. Everyone seems to get Kaia right - that was my switch. Just know in taking on an odd first name, it's tough on a kid, but often enjoyable for an adult.

Signe is not pronounced exactly the same as Signy/Signey, but I've seen that variation.  It's Scandinavian and my niece was almost named that.  My son's middle name is Magne and it's pronounced closer to Magna than Magny.
