Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Sigourney

Meaning: (Triumphant Conqueror, The Conqueror)

Origin: (Scandinavian, French)

Pronunciation: (sig-gor-nee, suh-GOR-nee)

Gender: Female

I was watching a movie the other day with Sigourney Weaver and I wondered what her first name meant. Upon researching the name I realized she was born Susan Weaver and that Sigourney was her stage name she took on. The name Sigourney has a great meaning though. It might not be all that classically pretty but that might work for someones character. I think the name looks cool.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
