Hello there everyone!

I just need to go over this. Larry's full name.
I've always spelled it like 'Lawrence'. But a few days ago I read the spelling 'Laurence' in U2 by U2 and right now, today I read the (weird) spelling 'Lardence' on a website.
Anyone who knows how Larry himself spell his name?

Haven't heard of a kind of dance called 'Lardence'...

I think it's Lawrence. Everywhere I've read his biography it was Lawrence.

Lardence is an inside U2 joke. I think it was first heard/seen in The Making of The Unforgettable Fire video.

Larry is Lardence much like Adam is referred to as Sparky or Edge as Reggie The Dog, Reggie or Hedge.

Ooh...But I love the name Lawrence! ;D
If I had the chance to change my name so... heehee...

But I thought it was Lawrence to. But...is it a miss-spelling in U2 by U2 then?

I've always wondered where Reggie and Reg came from!

i think it's actually cute when Edge refers to Larry as Lawrence in R&H, we all know the scene

"Lardence" is the way its pronounced with a thick dublin accent . Its just a piss take . remember "if i had a head like yours id bleeding bury it" in sun studios in his best dublin accent . something like that . obviously the lads slag him . he would have the strongest dublin accent . actually edge and adam dont even have one . bono's had faded slowly since Zoo TV . when i look at those shows i can really notice it .

Well, Adam isn't accutally from Ireland, he has his brittish accent istead ;D
But is kinda weird that Edge doesn't have one. Even if he isn't born in Dublin he was raised there wasn't he?

But I'm just a little bugged that it stands "Laurence" in the U2 by U2 book
