[Opinions] Re: Simeon
in reply to a message by BBH
I don't know why, but I immediately think of monkeys when I hear the name. So weird. I also think of that character on MadTV named Simeon, which doesn't help. I much prefer Simon, but perhaps because in the area I'm in, Simon is not overly used at all, so it's still fresh and quaint in a British kind of way.Of your combos, I like:Simeon August
Simeon Edgar
Simeon Edmund
Simeon Jonas
Simeon Jude
Simeon Luke
Simeon Tobias

See, I think of malicious sentient lizards when I hear it; I read a Star Trek novel with a character like that named Simeon.

I wonder why names like Tiger and Lionel are considered cool in some circles (I have even met a guy named Cougar once), but suggesting monkeys isn't cool. I happen to like monkeys. The cannotation just isn't negative to me.

I didn't say monkeys aren't coolI just said it reminds me inexplicably of monkeys. Ain't nothin' wrong with monkeys.

It isn't really inexplicable. The word simian refers to monkeys and apes.
