Zed is a combination. Partly Canadiana - up here it's the name of the last letter of the alphabet. Partly the nickname of an imaginary character, rather than an imaginary friend, from stories I dreamed up as a child. I use the middle and last names as passwords for various things. I'll won't forget them and noone else will ever guess them.

I adopted mine after returning to the US after 18 years in Brazil. Some Portuguese syntax had crept into my (spoken) English.
But now I'm wondering: maybe I am anastrophic as opposed to catastrophic?

They're carriers of letters in the Harry Potter books, she added helpfully.
Don't you mean:
"They're carriers of letters in the Harry Potter books," she added post-haste.
In Vermont, natives are called Woodchucks and people from away are called Flatlanders. Course, I no longer live in Vermont, but the handle has stuck.
