How many of the Beatles were not known by their real names? The obvious answer is Ringo (Richard Starkey) but I am sure I've read somewhere that Paul's real name is John and he was known as Paul so the two Johns were not confused. Can someone back me up on this?

His name is James, not John. But his full name is James Paul McCartney, and he simply goes by his middle name. So, technically, Paul McCartney is his real name, just not his first name. I don't know exactly why he goes by his middle name, but it is worth pointing out that his father's name is also James. Jan 13 04, 9:49 AM

Paul's brother Mike used the name Mike McGear in his group, the Scaffold, so not to be judged by Paul but on his own merits. Jan 13 04, 10:52 AM

I read somewhere that poinsettia flowers are not allowed in the Christmas decorations in the City Hall of St. Paul, Minnesota. They are poisonous, but the chance of someone ingesting them at a city hall seems slim, so why is this? After the Beatles broke up, how many known times did John Lennon and Paul McCartney meet face to face? In the film Pulp Fiction, the character Jules reads a passage from the Bible to unfortunates that he is about to shoot dead. Can someone please tell me where I can find the exact verbatim as read by Jules? Was Robin Hood real or was he made up?
