Surely Semyon would be the more common way of rendering семён?

  Transliteration is almost always a mess, rarely yielding good results. If I were him I would just demand the authorities to spell my name as Simon. Or, perhaps, keep it as Semen and make fun of that myself. I could even sue someone who would ban me for this.

    > I could even sue someone who would ban me for this. That only works for a very small subset of the world population. Even in the US, try sueing tictok.

    Have you tried demanding something from Russian authorities? They have a transliteration table and Семён is Semen, no changes allowed.

      The changes are allowed. Proof: https://www.transliteratciia.ru/transliteraciya-imeni-i-familii-dlya-zagranpasporta/ https://www.transliteratciia.ru/transliteraciya-imeni-i-fami...
