French "Simon" is シモン (shimon) in Japanese. Japanese names should sound (at least in the vowels) very close to the originals. I believe the accent in French "Simon" is on the "o" and not the "i." If it's the other way around (with the accent on the "i" instead), then it would be シーモン. But I think I'm right, if my limited French amounts to anything. I'm going by my knowledge of names like Simone de Beauvoir

Nagoyankee is a native Japanese speaker and he also knows French, so he'd be able to confirm/deny what I've said if he ventures into this wasteland of a thread.

Could it also be セィモン？
