Why did you pick your detective name?

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 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

Lynoria Cavendish

Hmmm... let me think...
Lynoria is a very beautiful name I created from the name "Annoria." While I was naming my detective, I was scrambling to remember "Annoria"... but I couldn't! So I just brainstormed for two minutes and got Lynoria after remembering how it was pronounced. I thought the name "Cavendish" blended nicely with "Lynoria," so I picked that.
And there you have it. Strange, but very well-thought. ;-)

Well my first detective was Lady Eileen. I love that name. I used it when I played the old computer game - Moonmist.
So when I first saw this site that is what I chose.
Then sadly, when she was retired, I chose my next favorite. Maddie Hayes, obviously because of the TV show Moonlighting.
I think it fits me now. Though the picture I have still makes me think of eileen.
I do love Grace Kelly though.
