Does Frodo ever use an assumed name?
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Yes. Mr. Underhill.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, Underwood or Underhill or something like that, I think. From when they leave the Shire until around when they meet Strider.

In Bree, Frodo is questioned as to his connections to some Bree hobbits also named Underhill, and Butterber (the innkeeper) continues to call him "Mr. Underhill" when they return after the quest is over, even though he knows that it's a false name.
One thing I sort of miss in the film was more of a feeling that Bree was a border town between the Shire and the "Big People"--there are no other hobbits either imbibing at the Prancing Pony, or employed there, as there are in the books, even though there are accommodations for hobbits.
