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.

Danny is from Daniel (Blueberry Hill and my partner) and Mack is from my last name.

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

I choose my name because i spent 7 years in the Army as a Combat Medic so the nick name Doc has always stuck with my friends and of course Lenz is my last name

It's a combination of my first name, plus my middle and last initials and my love for astronomy, specifically, stars, constellations and Orion.

Ken + S + H + stars = Kensha Starr. The a is because it sounded more feminine this way since my detective is a Jessica Fletcher, Murder She Wrote type.

I picked a name I liked the sound of when I wrote a series of hardboild detective short stories. I sort of imagine Rick Meadows as played by Bogart (who played a few Ricks but that was subconcious)... sadly I had to pick a generic avatar though.

Mac Kerrell is a straight forward pun off of Mackerel, a type of fish. Fish make great sleuths because people are very comfortable saying anything in front of them without thinking about it.

I chose Teller Westbrook because I've used this character for other things before; shes exactly the type to be a detective.
