I read that U2,s The Edge,s full name is Dave Evans ( not to be confused with Dave Evans, the former original lead vocalist for AC/DC) .
I've heard it was because he's an introvert that is always on the edge of social gatherings
it was also a joke among the band that it was a joke about his oddly shaped head.

Rather unusually given the long period of time U2 has been active, U2 has always has the same line-up. Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam are the original members and remain the only members of U2. Initally, for the first month or so there were other members (Edge's older brother being one of them) however, the band (which wasnt called U2 at the time) was nothing more than a group of kids in a garage at that point and they were long gone by the time U2 launched any material.

The guitarist from U2 is not Ogorek - he is called The Edge, but his real name is David Evans.
