My father's name was Simcha, but officially he was called Salomon Mozes (Dutch).Salomon may therefore be a proper equivalent for "Simcha".

But my research showed that the gravestone of his grandfather Salomon Noach also gave "Simcha" as the Hebrew equivalent, so again I think that Salomon can be seen as the proper equivalent of the Hebrew/Yiddish Simcha.
