[Namron] What's in a name

[Jim L Couch]

Well, after Baron Ulf's pronunciation guide.. I dont much care for that 
name. heh But I have been looking on and found this
 Sœmund
 which I think is very closely pronouced like the common Simon. Dont have a 
surname but that can come later I guess.
 Regards
Sœmund
 Does that fit?? heh
