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.

My nickname from my friends is Cinderella and I'm asian, Chinese to be exact, so I just put that together.

Have you read the book 'Chinese Cinderella'? If not you should, it's great

What can I say? I just figured the name went well with the face on the picture. This guy with the cap happens to look the most handsome compared with the other choices.

In another RPG-game (Dead Awakenings) my nick is Johnny Rotten.

Then again "WorkingClassHero" would have also fit with the guy on the picture.

Ni hao to you too! Yes, I've read Chinese Cinderella. It's a very good book.

I was on my old account named Pokecat, it was my E-mail name that got stuck to me.

After 3 strikes, I resigned up as Verora, a name I made up to advoid picking a taken name. And it sounds cool too.
