Simone, the elegant French feminization of Simon, strikes that all-important balance between unusual and familiar, and it's oozing with Gallic sophistication. A dated choice in its native France, gymnast Simone Biles brings new bounce and spark to name. 
 
Meaning "to listen, to hear, to hearken", it is a sophisticated choice, though depending on where you are, the pronunciation may vary. English speakers may say it with a long O sound in the second syllable, whereas in French, it is more like the sound in "bought". In Dutch and German, however, it is pronounced with three syllables. 
 Two French philosophers are notable bearers of the name: feminist icon Simone de Beauvoir, author of the influential The Second Sex, and Simone Weil. There are also two notable young athletes with the name: the aforementioned Simone Biles, who set a US record high of four medals in a single Olympics, and Simone Manuel, who became the first African-American female swimmer to bring home a gold.
 The actress who played the lead in the iconic French horror movie Cat People is Simone Simon, while Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has a daughter named Simone; Chris Rock used it in the middle place for his daughter, as did Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates
