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 have no idea...I just liked the name Makensie, and Brewer, who knows, it just popped in my head after I chose Makensie as the 1st name. Not too exciting of a reason lol ;)

P. Rockwell-the bio is actually taken from US history. He's just been interesting for me to study over the years.

Reverend-Actually my real nickname. I guess my friend find me preaching sometimes. And with a little energy, Reverend Raymond Brown (RL name) sounds pretty cool.

I am very short, and most of my friends call me Lil' because of it. Therefore, I combined Lil and my first name, Rachel, to come up with my name, LilRach.

My fiance calls me sweets. Sweets was taken, so I used part of my real name, R to invent R Sweets, private detective.

As a teen, I was a camp counselor at a camp where the counselors used "camp names" rather than their real ones. My camp name was "Orbit," but some of my friends started calling me "Orbitrux Maximus" as a joke.

I chose the picture I wanted first, then thought about who this chap might be - and then chose a name I thought suited the character!

Apart from being British, he has no similarities to me in RL whatever - as my agency colleagues will no doubt tell you with some amusement :-)

Ruth Callderford is kind of odd, I know. I like the name 'Ruth' and I just blended the words 'call' 'DERmont' and 'Ford.' I like to CALL my friends, my friends' last name is DERmont, and my favorite car name is 'FORD.' There. Ruth Callderford. Pretty strange, isn't it? LOL :)

Not as weird as me. I named myself after my favourite blend of tea.
