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.

"Stardust" is what a....friend....of mine used to call me; since it was already taken I decided to use "Stardust01". Not very creative or detective-ish, I know...ahaha.

When I created my detective, I had an idea for her background before I picked the name. The name itself was always supposed to be her alias.

I picked the name Talia, just because I like the way it sounds, I thought it was appropriate. Then I picked Rune as a last name, as it's derived from a Nordic female name. The name means secret or secret lore.

Mnemophage = memory eater. I picked it entirely because it sounds cool.

I realized after the fact that it didn't sound very detective-ish, but it still makes for a fairly awesome nickname.

I picked my detective name because I hate smiles.LOl! I really picked it because I hate people in general. Nothing Personal.
