What does 'Sime' mean ? It's a Croatian nickname, can anyone help ?

... It does not on this occasion appear to relate to either the forename or surname of the individual, it's pronounced 'SHI-meh'

In case you mean Goran Visnjic, here's the explanation given on tv.com:
Nickname: Šime (pronounced SHIH-meh). The nickname is a corruption of Simon, and was given to him by his best friend Goran Navojec while in drama school.
