Sigmund

Sigmund G. Livingston (1872 – 1946) was a German-born American Jewish attorney working in Chicago, Illinois. Livingston was the founder and first president of the Anti-Defamation League, and the author of the book Must Men Hate (New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1944). The League's annual Sigmund Livingston Award, which recognizes individuals for outstanding contributions to furthering civil rights and fighting injustice, is named after him, as is its Sigmund Livingston Fellowship.

Sigmund the Sorcerer is the name of a character from the Nicktoon Fanboy and Chum Chum.

A famous bearer is Sigmund Esco 'Jackie' Jackson, one of the members of The Jackson 5.

I find it very interesting that people seem to associate with Freud his time-dependent and long-dated thoughts and interpretations only, when he is the founder of psychoanalysis which is still undisputedly one of the most brilliant techniques in order to help people suffering from mental disorders. And he has done so much more. I think it's sad that people who know close to nothing about him or have a strange picture of his work in their minds keep communicating it to the world. This doesn't mean I agree with some things he said about sexuality and further related topics, but as I have already noted, but this is simply not all of his work. There are so many artists and scientists who do a lot of sh** before they produce something great. It's not at all justified to see that great piece of work they created in the light of the bad work they did.

To come back to the name Sigmund itself: I dislike it in German, but like it in English. Sigmund Freud's original name was Sigismund, though, as far as I can remember.

Sigmund Frued was a psychologist before his time. He came up with many interesting thoughts.
