HOW PAUL DAVID HEWSON AND DAVE EVANS GOT THEIR NICKNAMES

Each member of Lypton Village was given a nickname that reflected their personality and the imaginary altered state they inhabited.

It was here that Paul christened Derek "Guggi," and Guggi returned the favorby calling him
"Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbangbang."

But Paul eventually rejected the moniker and instead nominated "Bono Vox ofO'Connell Street," with Bono Vox being an alteration of "Bonavox," the Latin phrase for "good voice" (although he denied all knowledge of this) and the name of a hearing aid store just off the aforementioned street.

He later shortened it to just “Bono."

Dave Evans, a casual associate of the gang, was to be known henceforth as "the Edge" because of his sharpmind and the shape of his head.
