With a Z. Zeribable.

I think it's... Zeribable?

I've never heard of this name.

It's in the Old Testament, I believe.

Zeribable.

Great.

How do we spell this?

Z-E-R-E-B-U-B-E-L, I believe.

So I decided...

Especially at that time in the, what was it, early 80s, there were a lot of Matthews about, a lot of young boys called Matthew.

And I think we had five Matthews in my class.

So I felt so ordinary.

And then I thought, if I just insert a Zeribable right in the middle of my name, that will make everything better.

And it did, did it?

Well, in my head, Matt Zed.

Yeah, and it's brilliant.

That Zed is so strong.

Exactly.

But no, it was never official.

But I've still actually to this day on, you know, blinking social media, Instagram.
