I like it, but I'd probably be more likely to use it as a mn.

Great name and as far as I'm concerned, any of those combos would be nice. My top 3 would be: Simeon Jude, Simeon Luke and Simeon James.

I love Simeon, actually a teeny bit better than Simon, but for some reason it doesn't receive the amount of love it deserves!

I love all your combos, but Simeon August and Simeon Tobias stood out to me as really great.

I prefer Simon.

Although I enjoy monkeys, the name's propinquity to "simian" bothers me.

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 cool

I 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.

I dislike it. It makes me think "simian."

I like it, it's on my PNL. I much prefer it to Simon. Asa, August and Daniel are the mns that work best.

I am most fond of Simeon Tobias myself.

I like it. It's underused and is more interesting than Simon.

Out of the ones you have listed I like:

Simeon August
Simeon Daniel
Simeon Henry
Simeon Isaac
Simeon James
Simeon Jude - This would be my favorite.
