Being totally honest...

If I say "Close your eyes and imagine that Simone just walked in the door"

How would you describe Simone? What are your first impressions of this name?

Simone to me is an ultra-sophisticated name. I don't like it, because it sounds uppity to me. This is what I think (although I don't know any, so meeting one would totally change my idea!): "Anyone named Simone makes too much money for their own good, and acts like it."

On a completely DIFFERENT level it's kind of hippy to me.

LOL. Those two ideas contradictory. I'm awesome.

I just wanted to let you know that I don't actually mind the name. If I met a little girl with the name who had an unpretentious personality (because I know many 3-yr-olds with pretentious personalities..haha!), I would change my perceptionfor sure.

Interesting about you Grandfather's name!

I imagine a tall, thin, curly and wildhaired bohemian chick.

Prior to the one that cheated on my favourite cousin and ruined his life for a while (she ran off to France with her boyfriend and refused to sign her divorce papers, for a start!), I always thought it belonged to interesting, friendly people - mostly dark-haired, somewhat elegant, intelligent. Now I mostly associate it with blonde manipulative bitches. :-/

The very first thing that popped into my head was "That she's French". Basically, I saw her as any European. I don't really see it as an American name.

I also pictured a dark-haired women/girl, short or medium height. I also see her as mysterious and somewhat eclectic; kind of hard to figure out [but not necessarily in a bad way].

Well, yes that too! :-p

I just think of her as normal. I have kinda thought she was gay since the beginning. I had no clue why, and thought my gaydar was off, but it turns out, i was right! I have pretty good gaydar. Tells me which girls I can hit on! :-p

I never actually liked Simone until she came out. I hated her when she was all over Chad, but I really like her now. I wanted to punch TC when he did one of his trademark crazies on her. :(

I've always liked her. She was the one supposedly "with" chad. I hated HIM. :)

And I hate TC, period. And Gwen. OMGDIE. Give Theresa her kids, and her man, and Die. :D

from ferris bueller... i definitely picture dark hair and kind of reserved, but not annoyingly so.

Dark hair, exotic looks, thin with a birthmark on her cheek.
Of course, that describes the character called Simone on my soap XD So perhaps I'm not the best to ask...

I'd think of the only Simone i know. She's 6 years old and has orange hair and freckles, really friendly and acts more mature than her age.
I don't really like the name though, it seems too harsh to me.

Simone is a very sophisticated name to me; I imagine a beautiful blonde, a business woman, maybe even a politician. Have you ever watched Commander In Chief? Natasha Henstridge's character there, Jayne Murray, would sooner be a Simone to me than a Jayne. That's the only way I can think of to explain it; stylish, suave, cunning. And very, very pretty.

i either picture:
a) a redhead with freckles (probably because i knew a girl named simone who looked like that)
b) the gorgeous model-esque blonde from the movie, simone.

blonde, tall, black dress, heels

but not really 'typically' gorgeous, just gorgeous because she takes care of herself so well.
that's honestly what i saw.

From the soap I watch, she has tan skin and long black hair with great style. That's how all Simone's appear in my head.

Wait, I take that back. The blonde from the movie Sim0ne.

I would picture Simone being someone with long, jet black hair, lots of peircings. Kind of tough looking.

Simone de Beauvoir. Brilliant and tortured and sexy in that "I-live-on-espresso-and-cigarettes" kind of way.

I love the name.

that's unfair but I picture a brunette with straight hair and big glasses, clothes who are from the 80s carrying her books.
I'm sorry but Simone to me sounds like a nerd or a geek or something like that.

It's unfair but it's because I used to know such a Simone.

Sohisticated and arty, with an air of grace and calm. A girl with dark curls who's envied but modest.

She would be tall and have dark hair and possibly glasses. Quite smart.

I've known of one Simone in my life, so I'd picture her... she was thin, wirh red hair and freckles and glasses. Sounds nerdyish, but she was actually really pretty, and smart.

I think of Rachel Roberts! I've never seen the film Simone, but I guess her image in the previews just stuck with me.

She's very pretty:
