Personal experiences with the name Signe

My name is Signe, and we pronounce it: sig'nee. Since most people in the U.S. have never heard of my name before, it has always been quite tedious to pronounce my name several times, and spell it out, etc.,(when meeting people) but everyone loves the name once they understand the pronunciation of it. When I was younger, of course I hated my name, but now I appreciate it for all of it's unique qualities.
