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.

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!

I took my middle name, which I would love to be known as in RL, and just chose two random numbers and added them to the end of my name.

I don't think I've shared why I selected my name yet. I did a quick check through my post, but didn't see it, so here goes:

Years ago, while attending Vo-Tech, (to be a legal secretary) I put together an all girl "Country and Western Band, I called: DaRu & Company." DaRu was also my nickname there. Before graduation, our band was asked to perform before the entire school, and we had a blast. We done songs like, "Rocky Top," some I wrote. Those were the good ole days....LOL. Needless to say, our band split up shortly after graduation. Actually, I only brought the band together to do something fun for the school, and so we entertained them in music. I was told nobody had ever done this before in the history of the school, and they were so proud of us, which made me feel good. I love singing people happy. Anyway, DaRu, also represents my first and last name....."Da...for Debra.....and Ru....for Ruth." So......there you have it.

I chose gardener Greene because not only is it an alliterative name (which makes it instantly more interesting), but also because I once played a character in a Marvel roleplaying game with the same name. I'm patterning this character after that one... at least a little.

Mine is a name of a character I wrote for a student film when I was still in college. It's suitably cheesy, plus it wasn't taken.
