11. My quick search led me to this possible CIA handle.

Everyone should read Philip Agee's INSIDE THE COMPANY...CIA DIARY.

On page 137 he describes how the CIA invents PSEUDONYMS for operatives. The names are
highly UNIQUE, so that it is unlikely that few other persons in the world will have an identical
name. After assignment of the name, the operative will thereafter use that name in all
operations and reports.

The pseudonym assigned to Agee was JEREMY S. HODAPP.

Do you see a pattern?

J E R E M Y S. H O D A P P
A L E K J. H I D E L L

UNUSUAL FIRST NAME....MIDDLE INITIAL...CONSONANT-VOWEL-CONSONANT-VOWEL-DOUBLE CONSONANT LAST NAME

Computer generated?

Agee's book is a must for anyone wanting to understand agency operations and cryptonyms.
He unlocks many code names you may have read about.
