Sigourney Weaver, born Susan Weaver, adopted the name "Sigourney" after a minor character in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. She was inspired by Sigourney Howard, a wealthy socialite mentioned in the novel. Weaver made the name change at the age of 14, feeling that "Susan" was too common and wanting a more distinctive identity. The name ultimately became synonymous with her strong and memorable screen presence, particularly through her iconic portrayal of Ellen Ripley in the Alien science fiction film franchise.
