Is This A Signature Or A Note? Kurrent Maybe?

Trying to decipher a signature/note left on a Christening record of my grandmother's that was born to German immigrants, out of wedlock, from 1936. This is written in the spot for "Name of the Father".

I've included the whole document for reference as well, its 13th row down, 2nd column. Any ideas?

Thanks! I figured it was something like that.

 

I was close, after some research I came up with "unchelich", which means nothing... but since I don't speak German nor have an understanding of Kurrent, I guess I did fairly well and was on the right track!
