No, it's clearly a play on Ango's name. The original source material is Ango's detective stories set in the Meiji era of Japan. The book is called Ango Detective Stories. If the rumor is true that BONES is taking a reimaginative spin on this set in the future like what Gankutsuou did with Monte Cristo, then UN-GO would be their way of spelling Ango while also saying that it's not like that at all.

Yes, it looks and sounds dumb, but Japanese naming when it comes to using non-Japanese titles has always been hit or miss.

Aikawa only wrote a single episode of RahXephon. He didn't really have much to do with the series. He is better known as the lead writer for the first FMA series and the movie, as well as Oh Edo Rocket, Gad Guard, and Ayakashi Ayashi.
