I'm not comfortable with {nap} for this meaning of "simple" -- I tend
to think of it as meaning "uncomplicated", not "unlearned" or "lowly".
It loses the alliteration as well; a less direct translation would be
somewhat more in keeping with the flavor of the original.  I also think
the word {Suy} would be useful here:

{chab Suy qIH "Simon" Soy'}.
