And I was nearly sick.

Bono Vox (alteration of Bonavox) - Good Voice.

 

 

 

 

Ugh.

MY PROOF .

he would :rolleyes:

He has such an ego, it's amazing how he can even function. That being said, he is right :rolleyes:

Actually it comes from a hearing aid company on O'Connell street.

 

And the name was given to him by the Lipton Village, he didn't pick it himself.

^^ what Briggins said...

 

my proof to support his statement:

 

I'm confused. :dizzy: Which one is it?

It's teh one that U2 fanboy said.

Yeah, Bono's voice sucks. They're never gonna be able to sell any albums or concert tickets with a guy who sings like that. Take my word - this band will never amount to anything.

Who said that?

I was merely vomiting in my mouth at his ego.

And what does Bonavox mean?

As you said yourself in the first post of this thread: BONA VOX is latin for GOOD VOICE.

 

But hearing that word (Bonavox or Bonovox) I think of the Danish word: Bonevoks - but that word actually means wax polish / floor polish.

GOOD VOICE[/color]. But you said so yourself in the first post. :P:P

 

I know, but they were acting like I was totally wrong. They could have at least said I got the translation right :p

a story i found online. not sure how true it is. but it sounds sensible.

 

Bono Vox was a corruption of Bonavox, a brand of hearing aid, and also the name of a shop in Dubling that the gang regularly passed. Hewson sang so loudly that his mates said he'd drive the all deaf, hence the nickname. Bono wasn't really chuffed with it, but changed his mind when he found out that translated to Latin Bono Vox means "Good voice".

It's weird that his girlfriend calls him Bono (according to his biography).

Seems plausible, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's a cover story. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I'd have changed it though once I found out.

It's weird that people at all call him that socially. The Edge as well.

That. He's in love with himself, but, it is true. He's amazing. :heart:

I clearly remember walking by that in Dublin this winter! I had no idea.

Well, who calls Tiger Woods 'Eldrick'?
