    I'm pretty sure this name has been brought up before. It's a misspelling of a common medieval Rus name or something like that.

    Not so much a misspelling. It's the Russian version of the name Simon or Simeon.

    Wow, really?

    I'm tempted to get a diplomat, bribe him, and get him that "Adulterous" trait or make him king. King Semen the First... It has a nice ring to it.

    He should be an admiral, commanding his seamen.

    I don't speak russian, but it is real russian name, Caesar is right. In one old book about russian tankists and their dog I've read, there was commander called Vasyl Semen.

    This thread reminds me of a Children's 1970's program, called 'Captain Pugwash'. The characters were Captain Pugwash, Seaman Staines and Master Bates, no one realised at the time about the sexual undertones. These days definately not PC, apparently the origins of the names were from the Navy

    Well he might just be very fertile. With a name like that, he'd have no problem picking up any Russian chicks
