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 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...

Well for the name I'm on now it's because I think Nancy Drew and Sherlock Homes are the best fictional detectives everand for GreenDayGirl and greendaygirl 60 through 66 well I love GreenDay, Billy Joe Armstrong is soooo hot.

Emmeline Bogart

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.

Pansy Jackson

Well, I wanted something that sounded very feminine for a first name, because I didn't think this woman would be feminine, so the name Pansy just popped into my head, and Jackson seemed to fit well with it. For my other detective Alejandra Holmes, I just love all names that would be abbreviated 'Alex', and I'm currently working on a story, the main character’s first name is Alejandra, and I love reading the Sherlock Holmes stories, so, Alejandra Holmes was born.

I combined the names of the famous abolitionist-secessionist Horace Greeley and the natural rights philosopher John Locke. Thus, Horace Locke.

I choose ThinkLove because it just sounded intuiging and mysterious, and it popped in my head, because I was just looking at that band's site. I thought it sounded cool. Also I love hearts [♥] and that went well with the name too!! Hence, Detective Think.Love♥
Goodbye for now,

Nothing too complicated; Octavian Reed sounded like a good detective name to me. That and it fit the character that popped into my head when I was deciding his statistics. :)

I did one of those fun surveys once. According to the survey, to find your detective alias:
DETECTIVE ALIAS:
(Favorite Baby Animal + Where You Went to High School)
Puppy Notre Dame.
So I didn't choose Puppy Notre Dame. Tintin Dallas is from:
SOCIALITE ALIAS:
(Silliest Childhood Nickname + Town Where You First Partied)
Tintin Dallas
