I'm perfectly okay with naming your child "Simeon," despite the likelihood of confusion. It's not the same as naming your child Unique (possibly spelled differently), as a girl I knew once was named. (Conformist creature that she was!) Or any other of a number of wretched names I've seen bestowed on perfectly innocent children.
Preaching to choir here, I get many versions of the same name where I work.
There is a british actor who played gay germen officer in "Allo 'Allo
and the actors name was Guy Siner.
