What name?

St. Peter is addressed as "Simon Peter: Simon son of John", then as "Simon, son of John" two more times in John 21. You are not implying that Christ was talking to someone other than St. Peter, are you? These are all Peter's names.

I'm not implying anything of the sort. I am making a statement that Jesus called him Simon during their last recorded conversation in Scripture. Why? Was the choice of the name "Simon" especially meaningful to Jesus?
