[name]How[/name] do you pronounce it? What do you think of [name]Simeon[/name]?

I think it’s reminiscent of “simian” and like it less than [name]Simon[/name].

I prefer [name]Silas[/name] or [name]Samson[/name] to [name]Simon[/name]. But prefer [name]Simon[/name] to [name]Samuel[/name].

I like it, and have it on my list because of the sweet meaning and because it is used and heard so rarely. I would pronounce it [name]SIMM[/name]-ee-uhn.

I love it, but I may be biased because my son’s name is [name]Simeon[/name] We pronounce it [name]SIM[/name]-ee-uhn. We have received a negative comment only once, for the most part people respond very positively.

I really like it. [name]Sim[/name] is a great nickname too (which you don’t get from [name]Simon[/name]!)

I’m with Stripe. Makes me think of apes.
[name]Simon[/name] is so dreamy… hard to improve upon.

I didn’t even think of the ape thing… I think I prefer [name]Gideon[/name] regardless. Thanks!
