Simeon

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Simeon for a boy?

I really like it. But then I like old fashioned names.

I prefer Simon, but I don't dislike Simeon.

I also prefer Simon, but do know an adult Simeon, around forty.

My tortoise is called Simeon! I love it as a name- do you know the story of Simeon? (Just in case anyone asks as he was an old man in the bible)

As mentioned on a previous thread, I love the name Simeon and think Sim/Sims is a cool nickname but DH has vetoed as for some reason he thinks it's a 'weak' name... Also another poster on here pointed out it sounds like simian. I still love it though

I just think simian so imagine someone who looks like a monkey. Sorry!

Prefer Simon by a million miles.

Simeon is the original and it stops spelling confusion so for that reason I'd stick with the original moniker.

I have a totally irrational dislike of it, sorry. There's a Simeon in the Bible (one of Joseph's brothers) and in a cartoon version I saw as a child, the Simeon was just really horrible. So I hear it and just think it sounds like a nasty person!

But I know that's bizarre so if you love it, go for it!

I prefer Simon. Simeon just makes me think of 'simian'.

I prefer simian as a name

If using Simon spell it Simon

Good choice generally tho!

Yeah, I prefer Simon because of the similarity between Simeon and Simian.

I like it. Simon is a super boring name and Simeon is like a more interesting twist.

I know someone called simeon it's not a terrible name. What is terrible is the nickname his gf has given him of simmy, makes him sound like a child or a dog imo.

I used to know someone called Simeon and he had rather simian features. Not worth the risk.

Is it the currency on Sims? I'm not sure but that's what I made me think.

I don't mind it though. Really like Solomon though, if that's any help!

The currency on Sims is Simoleon, so not too close. Also think of "simian". More people will have heard of Simon so you may get people calling him that by mistake.
