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 couldn't be bothered to look back, but is Rosamund Clifford named after Henry II's (English King, 1154 to 1189) mistress?

I have an odd fascination for former US Vice President Dick Cheney. Hence the name. :)

Reason#2:I'm an huge fan of the French striker Nicolas Anelka(that dont necessarily mean I'm a Chelsea FC supporter though) Reason#3:In the most peculiar dream I had in my life, I am an old Trannsylvanian vampire ruler called as Old Lord Nicolescu.btw I fell in love with a girl which turned out to be lycan and I was dethroned because of treason to my race=.=

My character name and character's personality is taken from Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead.

Why did you pick your name?

Mine because it matches the agency :)

I chose Tagasiyasat because it is Filipino for detective. I like kind of not-so-common foreign languages.
