Now Miriam (Zee or Zed - vatever you zed), You're taking the Mickey, which leaves me without a first name to speak of. Well I can't really call it a "Christian name", given my origins. Then you tore shreds from my surname. Just leaving me with a middle name. Please, oh please leave me with something ... if not my dignity.
