Why Odo?

I like short names. Odo is one of rare three character words, which in Latvian can be used as man’s name and which is palindrome. For the first the time I discovered name Odo in book of Alexander Poleschuk "Big work, or wonderful story about Dr. Mechanicus and his dog Alma" ("Великое делание , или Удивительная история доктора Меканикуса и Альмы, которая была собакой"). The protagonist there was chemist Odo Mechanicus.

Odo in our proposed positional hexadecimal numeral system means 000, written in different possible shapes of zero.
