The BBC website a reports on a study which has found that 'More pop stars have been called Paul than any other name.' 'From McCartney to Weller, people called Paul have appeared on 57 number one singles since the UK chart began in 1953, according to Yahoo! Music.' What a relief to know that the license fee is being spent on the issues that matter. 'Despite Paul's popularity with musicians' parents, the name no longer features in the UK's top 100 boys' names. Ventura Barba from Yahoo! Music Europe said: "When you think of rock 'n' roll names, you instantly recall the unique ones like Bono, Prince and Slash. It's surprising to discover that an everyday name can lay claim to such an accolade." But it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to Paul Hewson, better known these days as Bono....and better know n to me by his apposite anagram Onob.Should have stuck with Paul although I believe it means small in Hebrew .

First Nations Blog is called Paul... I have just discovered that I may have Acromegaly... so you have nothing to worry about.
"From the Roman family name Paulus, which meant "small" or "humble" in Latin".
Apparently.
I don't like Bono, even if his name is Paul!
My uncle Paul was a master brassfounder; but when he retired he set up a most successful ballroom dancing academy. It must have been the name.
