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.

A few years ago, I had a very vivid dream. Now I normally don't remember my dreams, but this one stays with me to this day.

In the dream, I was an Irish girl from a very poor family. they wanted a better life for me and sent me to North America during the potato famines. Aboard the ship, I met an Irish boy who was also coming here with his family. Since i was alone, his family took me in when we got to North America and eventually I ended up marrying the son.
In my dream, his name was Connor O'Toole

My first detective was Garrett Magnum. "Garrett" is a detective from a series of humourous, light hearted, half fantasy/half mystery books by Glen Cook. I highly recommend the books. New one just came out. "Magnum" of course, is from Magnum P.I.
Both names were taken, so I combined them.

Jupitor Jones was my second detective. He passed away tragically in a case by accusing Ming Li instead of Ming Ling. LOL Anyway, Jupitor Jones and the Three Investigators. Alfred Hitchcock presents. Great kids books.

Morley Dotes is the best friend of "Garrett" in the books by Glen Cook.

Calico Jack is my other subscribed detective. Calico Jack was a real pirate. A pretty bad one actually, but there is a song called Calico Jack by a band called Running Wild. When I subscribed a second detective, I had the mp3 of Calico Jack playing at the time so I just took the name.

I used to have an Legend of the Five Rings(L5R) character by the name Mirumoto Akano who was a Kitsuki Investigator of the Dragon Clan. By the end of the campaign Akano was the Dragon Clan's Head Magistrate and Yoriki(Assistant Investigator) to the Emerald Magistrate Kitsuki Kaigan. Anyway in order to duplicate Akano's observational abilities I bought skills around his abilities. Good thing Akano also had the ability make people crap their pants with intimidation or else I might've been screwed in this game.

First I hade a detective called Ms J, wich is the first letter in my last name. Then I got totally hooked on this and started another det. called Ms C which is the first letter of my boyfriends name. Ms C became a favorit so I dropped Ms J. And then Ms C got retired, so then Ms Cevasco came up. But I'm telling you if there are any newbies reading this, that I was so god damn mad when Ms C got retired!! To have a good detective with alot of skills and then being so stupid that you don't pay off Shady in time.. Well I'll learned from my mistakes I hope.

Mine's kinda simple - I used the name everyone calls me by combined with a number that used to be the number of a house I lived in years ago (I don't know why, but that number seems to stay in my head).
