I see.
But now I can't be sure... :(
Simon's holy memory has been profaned  :P

I will tell you the entire story in my own way:

They called it "Shimon" in the japanese CV3, its a pun for Simon. When they translated and localized the game for the US, they doesnt knew about that and so literally translated the name, that means "Gates of Death".

They tried to fix this giving a more coherent name in HoD calling him "Simon Wraith". They did a splendid job in HoDespair since they changed it to "Hellmont", while this loses the Simon connection, it does a good job to keep the pun alive.

I understand now, thanks!
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

^ The music at the end of this video is from Mother series, I'm almost sure. So good! One of the best RPG's I've played in my life (2 and 3 at least, 1 aged really bad)

HaHa! When it comes to certain games I know exactly how that hawk feels. The Duck Hunt dog always pissed me off whenever it laughed at my missing all the ducks and couldn't shoot him!! He's on my list...

I've ever imagined that the "graveyard duck" would be a duck from duck hunt for some random reason lol
