How did you come up with the name Nedroid, and why did you decide to use it?

Many years ago, when I was but a wee lad, a friend and I were hanging out and saying nonsense words, as kids are wont to do. One of the words my friend made up was “nedroid,” and I thought it was a funny word, so I stole it for my own use.

Later on, I drew a series of comics featuring a character called “Nedroid.” Then I used it as my screen name when I first got on the internet, and it just stuck with me. I use it because it is unique and searching for it usually leads directly to my stuff, or at least it did until recently when some Japanese thing with a similar name started to exist and it irritates me to no end.
