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.

Mine is in honor of my grandmother who was a mystery nut. :) Della, her name and Devine because it sounded good together.

Mine is just a combination of a favorite name of mine (Talia) mixed with Anna and Periwinkle is my favorite color... sooo... yeah.

My detective's name has nothing to do with my RL name, I just thought "Talianna" sounded like a cool name along with, like I said before, my fave color, periwinkle. So, my name was just my creative brain rollin'

:D

mine comes from an old-ish episode of 'The Simpsons', in which the word 'felafel' was deemed too foreign for the Springfield snack-wagon market. But actually, I really hate this name, lol. meh...buyers remorse and stuff.

I got it from a book I really enjoy called; "Tricker's Choice." I thought the name was pretty and I couldn't really think of anything else...

I love nineteenth and early twentieth century names (I don't understand why everyone must name their kids Ade-in or MaDiSuN when there are so many wonderful, more truly unique remnants of centuries past undeservingly collecting dust). I first encountered Emmeline when reading the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and have used it as a pen name for various satire articles I've written, usually from an extremely draconian and puritanical point of view so for irony's sake I usually pair it with Burroughs (a la William). In this case however Bogart is of course a small tribute to Mister Humphrey, my favoritest movie man ever along with Clark Gable. Cliche but with oh such good reason.
