He choose Suggs from a jazz dictionary. Apparently, there is a jazz flutist
called Peter Suggs. It was tiring going about saying, "I'm not Graham any
more, I'm Suggs," but he was determined, unlike his best mate. "He changed
his name to Keg,'' says Suggs,''but he gave up after a couple of weeks. He
got fed up of it."
(The Independent, May 1995)
SUGGS: ''The obvious thing would of course be, that I wanted to change who I
was. I very specifically chose another name, and I told everyone that's what
they had to call me from now on, and they did. I think it was other people
had nicknames that were either part of their name, or I don't know what it
was, for some reason I didn't - well, nothing that could be repeated. It was
also at a time when people were writing their names on walls, so I had to
have some pseudonym that people wouldn't be able to trace my phone number
from - but I had some funny situations, Like being in Highbury Magistrates
court, and the curtains went up, and there was my name in 9ft letters on
Highbury overground station. It was a very brief period, and I then very
luckily met the rest of the band at an early age, which gave me an outlet
for something more creative than being
an idiot.''
