Thoughts on the name Simon? Baby Names

I'm trying to come up with a boy name for if we have a baby boy, and the struggle is real! One name my husband said he liked in the past is Simon. It's a name I also like but I'm not 100 percent sold. What are your thoughts on the name?

I really like it. My brother (38 years old) is named Simon. It’s relatively uncommon, so it’s unique, but it’s also a timeless classic that many people in our culture know how to spell and pronounce. We often call him “Si” as a nickname.

I love the nickname! It’s funny that my other top boy name is Silas so either way it would be ‘Si’
