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 always enjoy the name Mackenzie and just tried to think of something to go with it. Robbins came to me but then I was fired for to many false acusations:( so I became Mackenzie Robbin.

Well, my first name is Michael and my grandfather (Percy [also, my faithful manservant]) was called Mick when he was alive (when he was little, he couldn't say Ice Cream, so he used to say "Lick". My great grandparents used to say "Wanna lick, Mick?" and it stuck)
My grandmother used to call me MickeyJimJon (the short versions of all my names, Michael James Jonathan).
The Sticks part is my real nickname. I was so dubbed because (for those of you that are old enough to remember) Stretch jeans used to be quite the rage. My oh-so-slender legs do not look so good in them. Thus, someone decided that Sticks was appropriate! *grin*

so there you are.

The name of my first detective on this game was part of the name i got on the starsky and hutch pimp name generator. LOL!
But that one got retired quickly (didnt know Shady yet), so i created my 2 current detectives. No specific reason for giving them their names.

I feel like I've replied to this topic, but I didn't see my name, soooo...

Luniar Arkain is the name of my detective RP character. Kogoro and Conan were the inspiration to create the character, but the name was completely me.

my name for this detective is because i have grey eyes and couldn't think of anything else but i, loving this site and not getting enough, have another detective named "eye spy"-not after the agency here but because my friends tease me about being an csi cop.

No real reason, except I liked it. Now if only I can be the best "best-i," I can be, ha!

I could have swore this question came up before, but it's fun to read what people have done.

As for myself, I've borrowed the name after the most dangerous woman in all of France at the time of Louis XIII. Cardinalist agent, poisoner, spy, mistress... you know, my boyfriend may have a good point about not liking the fact I've borrowed her name :)
