Zed's dead baby

One of the first things I've had trouble with down here is getting people's names spelled right. Here in South Africa, people pronounce Z as Zed, which can make for some awkward moments on the phone.

Guy: My surname (another quirk I love) is N, I, T, Zed...
Me: Uh, what the hell did you just say?

Anytime anyone here says Zed now, all I can think of is that great moment in Pulp Fiction.

Bruce Willis's French girlfriend: Who's Zed?
Bruce Willis: Zed's dead baby.

Maybe in L.A., but not down here in South Africa - he lives on.
