It brings me SUCH joy to read everyone's sweet comments about this name. I LOVE this name! We named our youngest daughter Signey (born in 2010) after my Great-Grandmother who was from Stockholm and moved to the US in 1919 with her husband, Thure (TOUR-reh) and their only daughter, (my grandmother) Alice, who was 18 months at the time. Of course this makes it special to me, but I love that my husband was on board to name our sweet little girl such a unique name. (NO ONE here in the Midwestern US (Illinois) has this name - even as a middle name.) I looked up the meaning when I was pregnant with her and read [somewhere] that it means "Victorious sign from God". Which was perfect since we were told we couldn't have children after our first two. Now, as you can see, we did (most hesitantly) add a 'y' at the end so that it would have an easier to read/pronounce phonetic spelling (SIG-nee) (for her sake) but now I wish we hadn't because I think the original spelling is much more elegant. Sig turned 16 in October (2021) and no one bats an eye at her name and - better still - SHE doesn't mind it. :) (Although she often receives her coffees from Starbucks with the name 'Sydney' written on them. (lol!)
