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 Detective name comes from a character I've been working on for a graphic novel. Its actually Dolores Blayne, "Foxi" is her cabaret pseudonym lol. But, like all my ideas, it will probably never see fruition (other than potentially a subscribed char here) :p

I also have Freya Niccaff. Freya is an online name I've used for many years, I smoke (evil, I know :S) and drink lots of coffee, so hence the Nic(otine) Caff(eine). Nic is also from my real name (Nikki).

My college dormroom number was 007.
My real name is Viktoria and I had a friend in the dorm who found it amusing that I live under 007.
So, I started to say "my name is Toria, Miss Toria", just for her amusement, but then it stuck on me.
Why not Vik Toria? Well I liked to be misterious... And it sounded better too.

My real name is David and I lost my usual username to my first detective. somewhere around 2 years ago. (This was before we could un-retire them)

For my next detective I tried to come up with something rhimey to go with David and sort of settled with wave for Dave even though I hate it when people call me Dave.

I always love these stories.

Well, this is my secondary alias, my original Detective was given away to my old detective agency years ago :(

Alleluia is a character in one of my favorite books. She possesed charm and intellect, which are the features I chose for my detective.

When I was younger, I used to pretend that I was Kevin Greene, and I worked with the Hardy Boys. And I had most of their characters, and some of my own. It was very fun, so, hence my name!

Mine's a little unusual out of all of these. The first part comes from something I am, which is a black belt in Taekwondo. The second part is pretty weird. In the Bible, the book of Revelations says that only 144,00 will be chosen. Not that I am deeply religious, the number just stuck. I am lazy with the keyboard sometimes so I just shortened it to 144. Hence Blackbelt144 was born!
