D.Ripper, or The Ripper, can be used as a nickname of sorts, like a Red Baron, though that depends on what kind of character you're trying to make. A serial killer could have it as a nickname given to him by the police. A Hunter could have it as a nickname given by others because of his fighting style. The only person who used the name D. Ripper was General Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Stangelove (or How I Stopped Worrying and Loved the Bomb), and that was played for laughs because of how unhinged he was.
