Marky went on: “So the next thing you know, Paul McCartney would sign into a hotel room as Paul Ramon.

“Dee Dee looked at this and said: ‘Let’s call ourselves The Ramones.’”

Johnny Ramone told a similar version of the story, saying: “Paul would check into a hotel using the name Paul Ramon. Dee Dee was a big fan, so he changed his name to Dee Dee Ramone. We decided to call the band the Ramones.”

After this, every member of the band put Ramone in their stage names, despite not being actually related.
