Comments for the name Simone (1)

Comments for SIMONE (1):

Sort of popular in Sweden. It is probable that parents were inspired by a children's book turned TV series about the girl Simone who had cut all her hair off right before the semester started at her new school. Her name was so unusual that the teacher told the others that she was the new boy Simon. Baffled she pretended to be Simon for the whole school year but revealed herself as a girl in the end.

Genteel, soft-sounding and elegant classic.

Simone de Beauvoir, bisexual feminist, continually ranked as one of the most important women of the 20th century.

A famous bearer would be Simone Simons, mezzo-soprano lead singer of the Dutch gothic rock band Epica.

I love the name Simone, it comes off as very elegant in my opinion.

This is one of the worst names I know. I think it's becoming very popular in the UK and I am not looking forward to hearing every 2nd mum shouting it. It will give me ear cancer.

And where I live they say it like Zee-mo-nuh.

Simone is a nice name but I prefer Simona.

Like the anonymous user who talked about the movie, I only think on that movie when I hear the name. It was my favorite movie when I was a kid. ;)

But if I don't think of the movie, I really like the name. But I don't like the pronunciation. I would pronounce it see-MONEE.

For some reason, I find this name to be very harsh.

This is my mother's name and I like it. She pronounces it somewhere between the French and Dutch pronunciation so with three syllables but with a French o. She used to correct people all the time about the pronunciation but she kind of gave up after a while when people kept getting it wrong. I might use it as a middle name for a daughter later and then I will never stop correcting people if they get it wrong!

I like this name. But I like the spelling "Symone" better.

Although I would never use a feminine form of a Biblical male name, I do like this name a lot. It sounds very sophisticated, mature, and sort of classy to me. It reminds me of a former MTV Europe host, Simone Angel, who hosted Party Zone, among other programs, back in the 90s. And hey, Simone de Beauvoir is a good namesake to have.

I used to love this name, until someone pointed out to me that it bears a slight resemblence to the word salmon:(, which killed it a little for me. It's still on my favorite name list, just not quite as high up as it once was. I also like Simon, for a boy.

-- susiejean  6/12/2008

I agree with honeyrose. It just comes off to me really harsh and bold.

-- Junidoe-Josephine  6/23/2008

I find this name very lovely and delicate. I love the way Simone sounds when it's said.

-- pennycarroll  7/17/2008

I like this name. It sounds really pretty. I have a fondness for French names like this.

This name is also used in the Netherlands where it is pronounced see-MOH-nuh.

A 'famous bearer' of this name is Simone Weil (pronounced vey). She was a French philosopher, mystic, & activist. She was also an anorectic asexual. She went to school with another famous woman of the same name: Simone De Beauvoir. De Beauvoir finished second in the class & Weil in first. Weil was Jewish by heritage but had a life- long interest in Catholicism. She died young in 1943 after refusing to eat (in support of the French troops in WWII) while ill with tuberculosis. Her brother Andre was a noted mathematician.

I like this name A LOT, it's very different and I might use this name in my book. (:

French actress Simone Simon, best known (in English-speaking countries, at least) as Irena, the cat woman in Cat People and its sequel, Curse of the Cat People. (See "Irena.")

Sorry to those who called Simone, but I really hate that name. When I hear it, I imagine a stupid, vicious, vain, snobbish, selfish and spoiled girl. Several of my female villains from the stories I write is called Simone. Well, my very negative perception of the name Simone will come from a girl I know named Simone. She possesses all the qualities I described above.

During junior high, my friend Simone was called "semen" by the boys. Quite nasty.

I love this name. It's uncommon but not unheard of. Hopefully it'll still be this way by the time I have kids. Very beautiful!

-- Chrila96  10/24/2010

I love this name, it sounds very elegant.

-- Chrila96  10/30/2010

Simone is a GREAT name. I knew this girl who was very pretty and modeled whose name was Simone. She was also extremely smart.

My friend's name is Simonne, I personally like that spelling way more!
