This was a surname of a math teacher I had. When I first met him, I, too, was a bit concerned ("Mr. See-men? Say, Mun?") But honestly, it's not that bad.
Oh, God, no. D: The pronunciation of Sieman Makes MANY English speakers think of the word "semen"..-. I MUCH prefer good old Simon.

Siemen is used as a masculine name in West Frisia (located in The Netherlands) and East Frisia (located in Germany), but also here and there in The Netherlands (often by non-Frisian parents that simply have a love for Frisian names).
