[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.

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[wally_bert]

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

On any given day, I can relate to both.

[Jonty30]

My first name is John and my middle initial is T. I was thirty years old when I first got my email address.

[Ditter]

My baby brother named me “ Ditter”. It is baby talk for sister.

Thank you for posting this, I,love to hear about people’s freeper names.

[themidnightskulker]

Named after B.C’s trouble making alter ego In Johnny Hart’s B.C. comics

[PROCON]

[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...

[PROCON]

Do you have a green thumb?

Thanks for playing, dirtboy!

[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.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending out prayers for Arrowhead1952 as he recovers from his horrible fall.
