prefer it to Simon, but i'm not moved by it in any way.

Simeon?

That is a really nice name...In Greece is the most *usable* form of this name...

It's one of my favorites.

I like Simeon in comparison to Simon. I think it has a better sound to it; maybe it's the SIM sound appealing to me more than than a SIE. But I think it's only in comparison that I'd say I like it. I don't dislike either name particularly but they havn't struck me as having a lot of appeal.

The downside of Simeon over Simon for me is that it sounds a lot like "simian." :-)

I actually know someone by this name, I always thought it was a little odd, but not terrible.

I love it! It's one of the names that I often forget about, but then when I rediscover it I remember how much I like it.

I prefer Simon. Simeon is too much like 'Simian' for me.

I like it a lot. I prefer it to Simon, as well. I think it has a unique sound, yet also falling close to the traditional line. I think it's a fun name.

I like the sound of Simeon better, but the look of Simon better.

I like Simeon, but I prefer Simon still because of personal reasons.

I love it! So uncommon, yet great Biblical association.

Go for it! :-)
