Ripley
Ripley is a surname and place name appearing across English-speaking countries.
The name gained cultural weight through *Ripley's Believe It or Not!*, the franchise of oddities founded by Robert Ripley in 1918.
Ellen Ripley, the protagonist of the *Alien* film series, made the name iconic in science fiction.
That's a real Ripley's moment suggests something bizarre enough to be unbelievable.
