[Facts] Re: Usage of Zion
Quote...or maybe people with fundamentalist Christian ideas,...

Biblical names have a broader appeal to Christians than just to the fundamentalists. They appeal to Pentecostals and Charismatics, too.

Zion isn't a personal name anywhere in the Bible, though, is it?

It isn't (as far as I know), but place names and other significant idioms certainly get used, if they would work in our language.JORDAN wasn't in any of the name books* that we had when ours was born, but it was comparable to GEORGE & GORDON.We toyed with the (girl) names, HALLELUJAH & HOSANNA, but abandoned them in their most common forms.*I wasn't on-line, yet, in 1989 (and was still rockin' the Commodore 64).
