I did some minor researching in wikipedia. Simon is a name of hebrew origin. It roughly means "the one who listens" and Saint Peter was also called Simon. Peter on the other hand is of greek origin. It was derived from the word Petra (Stone), so the name could mean "the unbendable".

Simon is a man with a very strong (unbendable) will but he is also a man who is very resistant to change (like a boulder is very resistant to movement). He is willing to listen to anyone (from a mere maid to his lieutenants and his enemies) and reflect upon their words.

Simon was never mediocre. He was (and still is to a degree) a man who constantly did not believe in himself and was afraid of hurting others. That was the reason why Wendis chose him. She knew of his potential and she believed that she could help him start believing in himself. She also knew that they could always communicate and respect each other.
