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.

Sorry, forgot I went to the unsubscribed me - I just switched profiles and for some reason the change didn't register with me until I posted.

My reason is really stupid. When I was a little girl I remeber watching an advert in which a dreamy guy asks a girl her name. She switches "Hello Marylou" on the Jukebox. He then comes back later with a Tatoo of a heart with Marylou in it. Only Marylou isn't her name. I don't even remember what the ad was for. But I so wanted to be called Marylou and some guy to be so crazy about me he got it tattoed on his arm.

Well, Caitey, my original detective, is based on my name, Katie. I used to spell it like that in school because I thought it looked different lol. Then I started again as I screwed her skills up. I wanted Lolly, but it was taken. So I added an L. I have no idea why Llolly.... It just came into my head!

A weird hybrid of Vader and Revan, didn't want to add the Darth before 'em.

I chose my name because my nicknames for many years have been "Schizo" "Psycho" and "You mad.."
In additon my orcish general was call "Da Madd" and at least two ADandD characters have earned the nickname "The Mad axeman" so I guess The Mad One was a logical choice.

I chose my name for a rather silly reason... well you know how in all the film nuir detective movies, there is a gorgeous woman with a name like... Gizelle Boudalenta. I just wanted a name similar to a film nuir private investagator.
