    A post (kinda) all about me on Scripting News...Flattered is an understatement :)

    I think I might just use that tip in fact. Funny, I used to do it in the past, till I lived in the far east for a while and would say "Call me Zee". They heard "Ko Mi Zee"..."Aahhh..Ko Mi Zee san" the Japanese would say. :)

    Many people I know with uncommon names tend to explain them using a similar, more customary name. The corollary here would be to say "Like Zeke, but without the 'k'".

    Ya but all his Nietzschean pals will continue to call him Zarathustra and worship him with song and dance.

    You need a "Starbucks" name, Zee.

    My husband's name is Ari. When he says, "Ari. A.. R.. I..", they hear, "R..E..A..R..I...yes? Reari?"

    That is why his "Starbucks" name is Ray.

    This is why everyone in America needs to watch Shaun of the Dead. It's full of people with British accents saying "Don't say the zed word!"

    In related news, zombies make everything better.

    @Zee -- Here's another idea: You can say, My name is Zee -- just like Ze Frank (zefrank.com) -- except he spells his with one "e" and I spell mine with 2.

    Why does the Starbucks guy need to know how it's spelled? As long as the other Starbucks person says "Zee", he can write it as Z or Zee or any number of ways.

    The last paragraph is a brilliant idea... It makes it looks like Zee is a nick name, rather than a real given name.
