I was watching The King of Queens show the other day and the main lady Carrie learned her real name was Simone but her father lost the rights to the name over a card game with her uncle. Then her uncle gave the name to his daughter and she got her neices name. It was a funny episode but anyway I really like the name Simone. I have heard this before and it has taken a while but it has grown on me. The meanings are good and the look is very nice. I like it looks moderately foreign.
