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.

I posted a while back about my name. Instead of changing it. It has been turned into a character in my sister's stories. Kyle Xaiver Yowah Rocks. A man of insanity, and crazy ethics. Kyle spends his spare time at his diner assaulting his staff, or saving Wolfie's behind from a murderer with a wooden handgun. Crazy? I prefer undiscovered genius.

I love this topic!

Well L Lawliet is the name of my favourite fictional detective, from the best anime in the world, Death Note. At this point I'm damn sure there'll be people sneering & scoffing at anime. To them I'll say, don't you dare judge what you know nothing about.

Death Note doesn't deserve to be clubbed with childish obnoxious anime. The series is an intricately woven masterpiece of sophistication and suspense, an exquisite battle of wits and a heart stopping game between the deuteragonists. The world's greatest detective and the world's most brilliant yet unhinged criminal, hunting eachother and being hunted. The psychological and tactical warfare is a treat for the grey cells.

L Lawliet is the world's best detective. Bizarre and utterly eccentric, yet adorable and often very attractive, to put it in a nutshell. Arguably one of the best anime characters ever, if not one of the best fictional detectives. Hence, my name

My detective name is Marquise because I'm a Homestuck and Spinneret is my zodiac patron troll's powerful, cunning and charming ancestor. :::;)
