HelpRe: Zaphod
in reply to a message by Chelsea
I thought Zaphod Beeblebrox was a sort of satire of scifi characters like Jerry Cornelius and Louis Wu ... miss-the-mark "Mary Sues" that make you wonder, how on earth does this apparently dorky, heavily-modified-to-be-fabulous guy get all these adventures and get laid so much. So ... no, I wouldn't inflict the image on a son.
But I did have a thing for Zaphod (at least until I saw the TV version), and for his name, too. It's very snappy. It's the kind of thing I might rename myself, as sort of a self-deprecating in-joke for nerds, if I were a very quirky man approaching middle age.
