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.

Reason#1:My RL name is Nicolas and Wizard is my most-known nickname in campus. Reason#2:I'm an huge fan of the French striker Nicolas Anelka(that dont necessarily mean I'm a Chelsea FC supporter though) Reason#3:In the most peculiar dream I had in my life, I am an old Trannsylvanian vampire ruler called as Old Lord Nicolescu.btw I fell in love with a girl which turned out to be lycan and I was dethroned because of treason to my race=.=

My character name and character's personality is taken from Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead.

I chose Tagasiyasat because it is Filipino for detective. I like kind of not-so-common foreign languages.

I was listening to Captain Beefheart's Safe as Milk album when I was creating my detective and I found his a good name.

Well Psi-man is a phonetic pun on my own name 'Simon', but 'Psi-man' was already taken so I had to add 'Inspector' to the front.

Firstly, I wanted to give a "real" name... because, well, it's like a neverending crime story/book, and I wanted my detective to be like a heroine in it :). Also, I wrote a novel a while ago, and its main heroine was called Millie Mannings. I like how this name alliterates and it surely has that noir vibe, so... that's the story of the name :).

(sorry for potential grammar or spelling mistakes, I'm Hungarian :D)
