I also believe that "Simone" was a reference to Simone de Beauvoir... but it didn't think to Albert Camus right away. For those of you that don't know, Camus and de Beauvoir are both French existential writers, extremely influential in modern philosophy. But! my initial reaction to "Al" was actually Allen Ginsberg, and American beatnik poet who quoted the phrase "flower power" if I'm not mistaken.
