In my last post I concluded that our John's real first name was Edward. Check my 1/31/14 post, "The Moody Blues' Message To Eddie" where I discussed the Moody Blues' backmasked comment on Eddie and also talked about George's and John's remarks about Beatle ED and Faul's [the group's last Paul] song, "There You Are Eddie."
Well, duh, since everyone is talking about Ed and Eddie, I decided the full name must be Edward. Upon reflection (as they say), I thought of other common full names for ED: Edgar, Edmund, and Edwin.
I did a little checking in the UK FreeBMD (Birth, Marriage, Death) directory. I searched the common English surnames of Smith, Jones, Taylor, Johnson, and Brown for births from 1940-1945 and found, while Edward was the overwhelmingly favorite first name, a fair number of boy babies had Eddie, Edgar, Edmund (and variations), and Edwin as the first name.
So if you are doing research on our John, keep that in mind.

An IMPORTANT Clue That The Real Last Name Of Our Paul (Or Possibly, Our John) Was BLACK
I was researching information for my next post when I found an IMPORTANT piece of information that strongly suggests that the real name of either our John--or I still believe--our Paul is BLACK.
Mr. Junishi Yore served as the translator for The Beatles when the group played in Japan in late June and early July of 1966. Mr. Yore said he traded (our) John copper cups for his wire-rimmed glasses.
Note near the end of the letter when Mr. Yore says the following: "Lenses removed when he die (Black) as I/we feel he see us after death in Japan." !!!!
It's obvious that the man he is referring to as having died is a MR. BLACK.
The letter is dated 1984 which is after the death of (a) John Lennon. Remember---from my count---there was a minimum of THREE John Lennons over the lifespan of the group.
IF Yore is saying that our John died, then John's real name was Black. I believe our John's real FIRST name was EDWARD.
But is it possible that the Mr. Black named in the letter could be our Paul? Yes. As you can see from the photo below taken in Germany just before The Beatles traveled to Japan, both our Paul and our John have the same style glasses. So, because I've found other information that suggests that our Paul's real name was JOHN BLACK, I'm staying with my theory. But there IS a possibility that our John's real name was Black and if it was, his name was Edward Black. ---paulumbo
