Could Simeon be the next Gideon?  Parents seeking a less simple form of Simon might consider this biblical appellation that was chosen by Wynton Marsalis for his son. Simon is actually the Greek substitute for Simeon. 
<br/><br/> The first known Simeon was Leah and Jacob's son, who gave his name to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, the Simeonites; in the New Testament it is the name of the man who blessed the infant Christ.  Both Simeon and Simon were popular names for saints.
One caveat: Simeon is undeniably similar to the word meaning "apelike".
