I know how its pronounced and that its biblical but its in the same vein as Elijah, ezekiel to me.

I love it and know a few lovely Zion's, I really wanted it for DC1's name after the Damian Marley and Lauren Hill song.
Chose against it because it is quite political.

Still see nothing wrong with it if you are not black. Do you like the name? But yes I'd be surprised with a little blond boy who was called Zion. Then I'd get used to it.

It's a name with a lot of cultural connotations op, and you should be aware of them if you want to use it...

CakesAreBiscuitsToo · 07/04/2017 15:58

It sounds political to me.

Buck3t · 07/04/2017 15:57

My cousin has this name. It's a good strong name and culturally fitting for us. Do you like the name? And if you do, then pick it.
The Zion I know is extremely clever and won't let anyone stand in his way. He's 8 and is already formidable. I like to think we're like our names.

Sounds black?? We are not black... It's a biblical name lmao. It's pronounced like Lion.

I love the name Zion.
Ive just said on the tyrese thread that names that sound black aren't liked on this site. Wrong place to ask.

notanothernamechangebabes · 07/04/2017 15:54

Like Lauryn hills son/ the song about him?

I love the name- I'd have used it but DP wasn't keen.

CakesAreBiscuitsToo · 07/04/2017 15:53

Eh, no. Not a good name, OP.

CarlPoppaJaJiggyJarJardoo · 07/04/2017 15:53

I love it

Loyly · 07/04/2017 15:52

Sorry, I don't like it.

cliffdiver · 07/04/2017 15:52

How do you pronounce it?

z-E-on

Or

z-eye-on?

LouKout · 07/04/2017 15:51

That was meant to be :)

LouKout · 07/04/2017 15:50

Sorry! We all have different taste though )
