How do you say “Simon” in Japanese?

While debugging some issues with Japanese IMEs today, I experimented with entering my own name to see what would happen. The normal way to write it in Japanese would be in Katakana, シモン, but I tried converting it into Kanji to see how it came out. The result was:

諮問

I asked a coworker what this meant, and he told me, “a request for information from one’s peers”. Isn’t that cool?
