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.

My favorite character to be when I play clue is Miss Scarlet, so I wanted Scarlet to be a part of my name. When I was little, there was this mystery series called "Jigsaw Jones." He was the one who got me into sleuthing and detective work, so I chose Jones as my last name. I wanted to feminize the first name a bit and came up with Scarletta Jones.

Angus Drako is a form of the name I used to use when I did some reenactment stuff years ago. It just hung on from friends and family. Guess they liked it and I got used to it.
Thus far I will stay with it. Sort of has a nice ring.

Darken Mist was just created out of my odd habit of putting odd words together. I first used it on another website and it seemed to stick in my head. When I joined Sleuth, I thought it be a perfect name for a darker type of a detective. I used that mind frame in doing her history. No much more to tell.

My name is from the song Black by Okkervil River. Before I signed up, after my first/practice account retired and I had some familiarity, I knew I was going to be a moonlighting dilettante. The name really seemed fitting for the era and the story.

Jay = My real name is Jason.
Rain = In all my other online games, I am known as 'raen' and it's ALWAYS in small letters. I couldn't bring myself to write 'Raen' as this would be betraying my online reputation for the past 2 years and so therefore spelt it 'Rain'. =P

I have a tattoo on my arm that says 'cenoe', which is the name of my dead homeboy. So people started to call me cenoe. But I felt silly naming my detective after my nickname, so I added another word that I really like.... Hence, cenoecox.

As for the great history of my username, it's part of my email address. ~ Misses a Thrown Tomato By an Inch ~

And as a comment to Aiden, Conan's last name was Edogawa. His name is Edogawa Conan. Sorry, but I'm a Detective Conan freak.
