Some of us have interesting reasons to pick a detective name. What is yours?

jstkdn which some people don't realize right away stands for JuST KiDding! It is something I tend to say a lot in real life after a lot of sentences. A good friend of mine in the US had jstkdn as a license plate of her car, so I wasn't that inventive myself.

My previous other agent was PM, which stands for Project/Program Manager, my profession in real life.

My only detective that I currently play with is freelancermountaineer. Only because Freelancer was taken. Sidney Bristow in the Alias series uses two call signs freelancer and mountaineer.

I have no Idea. I'm not an agent and my name's Jordan, not Andrew, but I guess I thought it had a catchy ring to it.

I picked my name because I love the name Serena, and I thought about that Micha Barton girl, that's how I got my name.:D

One of the women I admire for her passion, art and spirit is Frida Kahlo, at the beginning of a fictional novel about her life begins with the words, "I was born in rain and I will die in rain."

Thus, Kahlo Rains

Also, I just love the rain!

I just named mine after my borderline-disturbing obsession with They Might Be Giants by naming my detective after John Linnell, one of the two founding members.

sushi kitty - LOL! Love your name, cuz I have a fondness for felines I guess...not so sure about the sushi :( Although my husband (yes, I'm female) sometimes freedives in the Gulf and brings home fresh tuna (mmmm) and tho it sounds gross that's actually quite good "fresh" (or as Gollum would say, raw and wrigglin')
Now to the subject of the thread - my name? It just came to me like a character in a book - I really had no idea about this game when I created my detective, I might actually have chosen a female personna otherwise...
But I love Hawk and wouldn't change him for the world now!
