I like that pronunciation much better, with the stress on the first syllable, like Sigurd. I wonder if they are related.

Funny you should say that. My husband's grandfather was from Norway and his name was Sigurd.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were! It does make me wonder if Sigourney isn't maybe an Anglicized attempt at a name that is probably from the elements sigr "victory" and ný "new".
