I think Simeon is a nice, strong name. Personally, I prefer it to Simon. It is unique and it ages flawlessly. I also love the meanings: “To be heard” and “God is listening.” I like Sim/Simmy for nicknames. Reuben would make a good sibling name, in my opinion. Overall, I think Simeon is a cool name.

I'm here because I was looking up the pronunciation of it, since a character in Obey Me! (game) is named this. I don't really like the pronunciation and thought it was pronounced like Simon up until now. Oops. But yea, it seems all the characters are named after things, like Solomon, Asmodeus, Lucifer (obv), Satan (also obv), Leviathan, etc. The character definitely impacted my ratings of the name to be honest.

I know somebody very close (maybe me) who's name is Simeon. Every time in school when a substitute tries to pronounce his name from the attendance sheet, she is like, "Uhh, Is it Simon? Simeoan? I'm so sorry!" It's like, at least ask before humiliating him in front of the class please. I think this name is not that hard to pronounce, and people only mispronounce it because they are not trying, or to tease you.

My name is Simeon and yea it might mean monkey, but I don't care as I was born in the chinese year of the monkey and I act like a monkey, I'm cheeky and make people laugh. And the meaning "God is listening" is true because I came around in time to save my mother. This name means so much to me, I'm proud to say my name is SIMEON...

Just stick to Simon, please. This looks like some weird "creative" spelling, and as mentioned before, simian, pronounced the same way, means resembling a monkey. Just don't use this.

Hitchcock's Bible dictionary states that Simeon means "He has heard" and references Genesis 29:33. In that passage, Leah, the first wife of the patriarch Jacob, rejoiced because she believed that God had heard her prayer. Therefore, the original use of the name celebrated Leah's conviction that the Heavenly Father was a good listener. And that the Heavenly Father had not only HEARD Leah's prayers - but had ANSWERED them as well!

My little borther's name is Simeon, and I think he likes it. It is unique and interesting. People always ask about it, and we call him "Sim" for short. I think that it is a good name for a boy.

The homophone (simian) means "monkey," but for some kids this may make it even more appropriate!

I know of only 2 Simeons who attend my school. One is in 7th grade and the other is in 6th and both strangely have a twin and the one in 7th and I don't get along so I have a bad impression of people with the name Simeon. Yet, it would be a lovely name to have because an old bearer is the man who blessed Jesus Christ.

Way too many ways to mock this name. I won't, but many will. Keep my word for it.
