Stigan

[minouminou]

Steps back and waits.
I can handle it.......go for it, guys.

Stig of the dump was my first thought upon reading it.

How is it pronounced?

Pretty much as you see it, with the emphasis slightly on the Sti syllable

I mean, is it STY-gan (to rhyme with fry)? Or STEE-gan (to rhyme with flea)?

Or even STI-gan to rhyme with the first bit of FLIp?

More sti as in stirrup, not an ee sound.

It sounds like a surname.

I also thought Stig of the dump like Psammead. And of the bloke off Top Gear. Sorry not my cup of tea.

Or even cup of Stee!
It is a first name, honest.

I read it as Stig to rhyme with "wig". Didn't even cross my mind it would be different.

It as the same as wig - I was just being daft with the cup of stee comment!

Ah ok, now I get it.

I am not keen, although I does look like a nice Old English name with something to do with strength as its meaning.

Are you in the UK, op? Or somewhere more Scandinavian?

Of the Dump, or off Top Gear?

Ativan is not a name I've heard before, and I don't know where I originates. But I don't think it'd work terribly well in UK at the moment.
