English Standard Version, Matthew 4:

18a While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother,
G4613. Simón Σίμων

There is a variant Greek spelling for the name Simon in 2 Peter 1:

1a Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
G4826. Sumeón Συμεών

The longer form was closer to the original Hebrew name.
