N-word as Cajun surname in 1870s? [closed]

Question

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G5YB-98GX

Right-hand page, middle-left. There appears to be the signature on this marriage record of a "Jean Baptise N-----". Am I reading this incorrectly?

Is it maybe an illiterate phonetic transcription of something like "Nigé"?

Comments

The first letter is R.

Answer 1

No, definitely, William Buller above
Jean Baptiste Rigger below

Answer 2

To me it appears to be Rigger.

Comments

It is definitely an R, the top loop is fainter but it is there.

I thought the top loop belonged to a lowercase g on the line above, but now that I actually read that line, a g would not make sense.

Answer 3

Please take a closer look. I see the name as Rigger.
