Submitted by: LucidLupin

I once told this writer a story about how I met the guys in an elevator and found out we all had the same last name, so we decided to form a band.
- Joey Ramone

Band Name Origins:

The probable source for Dee Dee Ramone to learn of Paul McCartney's (May 1960) pseudonym "Paul Ramon" was undoubtedly The Hunter Davies official Beatles biography published in Sept. 1968. Earlier fan books did not contain this esoteric 1960 information. The Davies book quotes McCartney's rationale for this obscure name. Submitted by: Richard Kolkman
Yes, Paul McCartney went by PauL Ramon in the early days of The Beatles. John went by Long John and George by Carl Harrison after Carl Perkins. Submitted by: Avram Fawcett
