Nay.

Very very nay. think immediately of Zionist and you are making quite a statement maybe you want to so in that case it's fine? on behalf of a little bAby

AHintOfStyle · 20/12/2019 17:27

It's a nay from me.

Bonnie1993 · 20/12/2019 17:29

Yay!
It is becoming a more frequantly used name than it was before. But is such a lovely name.

Is it a name? I thought it was a biblical place. Now I can't get bloody Boney M and Rivers of Babylon out of my head.

I like a ‘brave choice’ Grin
My own name could be considered a ‘brave choice’ so it wouldn’t be a real shock to the family to hear a name as unusual as Zion!

I think a name it's a very charged symbol. Given the controversy the word courts, I wouldn't place that kind of burden on the shoulders of a child.

Mmm back to the drawing board I think. Any names like Zion but less politically and racially charged?

Nayyy

Ridiculousanx · 20/12/2019 17:43

Oh sorry. I was too late.

Reminds me Lauryn Hill. Love it!

Lion Grin

SylvanianFrenemies · 20/12/2019 17:48

It's extremely charged.

If you are an ardent Zionist and understand the burden - up to you.

Otherwise, give your kid a break. How about Zain.

I believe Luciana Berger the ex labour MP's son is called Zion

And the walls came tumbling down.

No way!

JordanCatalano4Eva · 20/12/2019 18:02

Love it.

Leobynature · 20/12/2019 18:02

I love it. It’s was on my list 😊

Thoughtlessinengland · 20/12/2019 18:04

I am surprised you are needing to ask “why nay?” For Zion. Why do you think? Perhaps current connotations around Zionism....?

Zane or Dion.
