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 picked my Name from my top-three favorite fictional stories.

Dessel = Main character in the novel "Path of destruction"
Hawk = Main character in the Game "Dragon Age 2"
Cooper = From the games with the thief Sly Cooper

I took Alister from the person that was called the wickedest man who ever lived, Alister Crowley. As for Bane? I'm not really sure, it just kinda popped in my head, it paired well and no one else had it.

... or so I thought at the time, up until I finally decided to come to the message boards, which was literally yesterday, heh. Wanna know something really interesting? My actual middle name is Joseph and everyone has always called me Joey for short, go figure. *Looks around nervously* Coincidence? Or conspiracy? :D

Well now...my paranoia says...CONSPIRACY!!!

However, the "official" explanation is that Joey Bane is the main character in an old kids game called Gangsters 2. Bulldog is...just something I see in the miror every mornin'....

I chose my name because I'm a fan of Deanna Durbin, who once starred in a mystery movie. I have always loved mysteries, thus explaining both the detective at the end of my name and also my presence on this website. The addition of "detective" after the comma cannot be explained, for I cannot remember. It just sounded good at the time.
