[PROCON]

My origin is simply:

PROCONSERVATISM

PROCONSTITUTION

[GingisK]

My wife assigned it because of my lovely manners.

[dirtboy]

Two reasons. My Christian name is George, which mean in the orginal Greek man of the Earth. And I garden. Hence, dirtboy.

[Publius]

Publius was the pen name of James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay when they wrote the Federalist Papers.

I took that to mean that I had to brush up my prose when posting at FR.

Good evening, Pro, and thank you for today's What Is The Origin Of Your FReeper Name?

Two sides of Dilbert’s world, Wally and Dilbert.

On any given day, I can relate to both.

[Vendome]

My screen name is from “Place Vendome” in Paris.

It is the Rodeo Drive of France and in the middle is a spire, which Napolean created from melting cannons he won when beating Egypt.

He then capped it with a bust of himself.

Dude and Place have style...

[Doogle]

...being Scot/Irish...last name starting with Mac...it was quite natural while serving....that it became “Doogle”....and stuck,followed me everywhere...

[MNDude]

Not much of a story... I wanted to comment on some article. I tried to think of something clever but couldn’t so I just thought....”what the heck...I’m a dude... from MN... I’ll change it later”

Been stuck with MNDude since.

[BenLurkin]

At the time I registered I had already been lurking for three or four years. Also a play on Bin Laden.

[17th Miss Regt]

My great-grandfather served in the 17th Mississippi Infantry Regiment from Ball’s Bluff to Appomattox.

[Yo-Yo]

I grew up in the 1970s and was heavily into CB radio. “Yo-Yo” what my CB handle when I was in High School in 1975. It was given to me by a “friend” and in spite of my efforts, it stuck.

When I needed a FReeper handle, Yo-Yo instantly came to mind. But now on other forums I have chosen a different handle altogether.

[Pollster1]

Mine is dull beyond belief: Before my recent retirement, I was a political pollster.

[Celtic Conservative]

3/4 Irish, 1/8 Scottish, 1/8 German. Plus it was 3 in the morning and I was stumped for something more creative.
