Re: Simon & Simona
in reply to a message by BBH
I know a Simone from western Germany, and she says her name "zi-MOHN-ə." I prefer that spelling/pronunciation to Simona. Honestly, Simona looks contrived to me. I also like Simone pronounced sih-MOHN though.
I like Simon quite a bit. It just seems so earnest and likeable. I don't like it enough to use (and besides, my children's last names will be two syllables and end in -man, so Simon is too singsongy), but I like when others use it.
