Zinedine zidane: very successful French soccer player, won the World Cup with France in 1998, also the name of ff9’s protagonist.
Also I don’t know if this counts as a pop reference but the intro song in ffx features vocals and instrumentation very similar to the German band ramstein, the song du hast being a good reference point.
nobou uetmatsu said that the intro from one winged angel (the tritones) was inspired by the song purple haze from Jimmi Hendrix.
