There was a Jewish actress here in South Africa a number of years ago called Ziona. I've never met anyone called Zion. But there was a professor of law at a local university who was a lot older than the state of Israel, and his name was Ben-Zion. Son of Israel. He was always known as Ben.

When you say Zion is trendy among non-Jews, do you mean people who follow fashion trends in general, or maybe people with fundamentalist Christian ideas, or just people who like geographical names? I find it very interesting
