"Trading as U2, Paul Hewson (Bono), Adam Clayton, David Evans, and Laurence Mullen sought the return of the items saying they were their property and formed an "integral part of the iconic image" of the band". Why Laurence? Why not Lenny or Lando instead?

What's your point?

[BWhy Laurence? [/B]

Umm...because that's his name?

Laurence is his name, just as they said David Evans, instead of Dave or Edge. This is using their legal names. Bono legally had his name changed.

Bono legally had his name changed.

Nope, his legal name is still Paul Hewson. Bono's a nickname/stagename only. All of their contracts, his passport, other legal documents use his birth name.

And if you have the R&H Outtakes DVDs, watch the clips where Bono has just dislocated his shoulder in Washington, DC. When they get to Washington Hospital Center, the nurse asks Bono his name, address, social security number......He says, "Paul Hewson," and then the film cuts off. Of course, he may have had it changed since then, I dunno.

well his name is spelled Lawrence, so you can still call them idiots

I've heard it as both Lawrence and Laurence, but I'm pretty sure it's Lawrence... Bono and Edge call him Lardence aswell (Unf. Fire doc)
