[Opinions] Sigiswald
Opinions on Sigiswald? The w is pronounced like a v. I have taken quite a fancy to this name. It's not in the database :(

Not quite my taste, but definitely cool. The common form here in Sweden would be Sigvald, by the way - not too uncommon in the early 20th century. :) (The similar Sigvard is a lot more common, though)

Sigismund meets Oswald. Love it! But is it a real historic name, or created? I realize it's just for fun, but I'd still feel better if it were "real." :-)

When I see a name like this, I automatically look for your enthusiastic response! :) I should make a list called "Names that make me think of Bear".

Well aren't you a darling?! :-) Thank you! Give me your tired, your lonely, huddled masses of obscure, looney-tunes names yearning to breathe freely. Then give me the Italian variants of them and watch me explode. (Sigisvaldo, anyone?):-D

Well...I got it from a real person: a classical musician whose recording I heard on the radio.
