Sorry, but the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name Simon is "Simple Simon met a pie man." It is a nice name, but that darn poem is famous.

Simon was the name of one of the chipmunks in the cartoon "Alvin and the Chipmunks". The three were Simon, Alvin, and Theodore. Simon was the oldest and very intelligent.

Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios (born July 24, 1783 in Caracas, Venezuela; died December 17, 1830, in Santa Marta, Colombia) was a leader of several independence movements throughout South America, collectively known as Bolívar's War.

Credited with leading the fight for independence in what are now the countries of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama and Bolivia, he is revered as a hero in these countries and throughout much of the rest of Hispanic America.

In 1802, he married María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro y Alaysa. When she died of yellow fever less than a year later, he never remarried.

Bolívar is known as "El Libertador", The Liberator, as well as the "George Washington of South America" due to his leading the above independence movements, just as Washington led and won independence for the United States.

Simon Templar is a fictional character known as The Saint in a long-running series of books by Leslie Charteris published between 1928 and 1963. After that date other authors collaborated with Charteris on the books until 1983; two additional works without the participation of Charteris were published in 1997.

There was a fictional character in Libba Bray's book (Rebel Angels) named Simon Maddleton. He was kind in general, a ladies man, but sort of stuck-up in my opinion.

I really don't know what to say about this name, because it's my birth name. I guess that's why I don't particularly like it, when I repeat it in my mind I can't say if it sounds good or bad. I really dislike the "nerdy guy" fame that has been given to it. I never met a guy named Simon that looked nerdy or annoying (and I'm not one either). I wonder what gave it such an unpopular fame. When I ask other people "what do you think of the name Simon?" I always get haters or lovers, but never in-betweens. I guess it's one of those names you either love or hate. I hate people who associate this name to the robot-game though. That's really mean.
