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.

Well, half my friends call me Rae, which evolved into RaeRae. Then, signing up for this that was taken, so I figured additional extra unneeded unnecessary redundant repetition was a good idea.

I planned to registrate as Lucika (I use this always at online games), but I couldn't from my computer, so I asked someone to registrate. He was in a funny mood, so he registrated me as Lucika-Bucika...

Well...
I knew what person I wanted and what background. The girl looked like a Tess to me. The last name Maritt sounded like a good name for a lawyer or detective. The two names just clicked.
