They were originally called Feedback, and played a couple shows in 1976-77 under that name. They switched to The Hype in 1977 and played several shows under that name. On March 17, 1978, they entered a talent show in Limerick, Ireland, as "The Hype", but changed their name to "U2" on the sign-in sheet when they arrived for the competition.
They also played some Bowie, Ramones, Thin Lizzy, The Eagles, and Sex Pistols songs in the very early days.
Hope this helps...

The Hype, which also featured The Edge's older brother Dick Evans.
