I copied and pasted it from beatlesagain.com

I've only heard a few of these before - it's kinda spookie isn't it! The strange thing was John was also aware of the significance of the number.

yes this was always a fascinating subject of discussion when john was feeling more mortal than usual

- Both John Ono Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon together contain 9 "o"s.

The thing is that I've read somewhere that one can't get rid of the name given at birth, so JOHN never was JOHN Ono LENNOn, but JOHN Winston Ono LENNON. So it's 10 "o"s.

I remember reading that John complained of the name change because he was told he could only ADD 'Ono' to his name and that meant he really couldn't get rid of the 'Winston' and the was mad about that.
Legally, he had to keep Winston.





Dr. Winston O'Boogie! I guess he made the best of it!

haha, oh well.
Thats English Patriotism for you!

This is the stuff that Ripley's is made of. (My aunt has a bunch of old paperbacks)

He was??

Yep - he even mentioned it in one of his last interviews, with the BBC's Andy Peebles in 1980.

How many of you already knew ALL the "9" references of above?


C'mon,   not even I knew ALL of them but almost    

I think we subconcsiously are aware of numerology. Here are the meanings for the numbers: http://www.spiritlink.com/numbmean.html

Numerology is a lot like astrology but more complex. You can get a fre reading here:

I knew some of the "no. 9" stuff from Cynthia Lennon's book John. But some things are quite far fetched. i mean "All we are saying, is give peace a chance" (nine words) I dont think John was like "oooh, i have to give them a message that has to be 9 words long because i have this thing with the number".

How's that to add to the list: if you write John Lennon in hebrew and you  do the gimatria (which is adding the value of letters-its a hebrew thing) you get 222 which equals to 6. And 6 is an upside down 9!

A bit off topic- but if you write (in hebrew) Paul Mccartney you'll get 111. So johnny is double Paul!

I love number/letter games!

oooh. and if you discount the Unfinished Musics and Wedding Albums, John released NINE albums before he died.!!!!
