Other people calling themselves Prince ?

I was like going through myspace and noticed ALOT of dudes are calling themselves "Prince" . I don't know why it bothers me ; but it does. Lol can someone be famous with the same name as another person if it's not their legal name ? or can Prince sue . [just a thought and boredom mixed into one] eek
Your lips would make a lollipop too happy.

if they changed their name to prince's full name to be like him, i guess he can sue but if the change their first name to prince, they're not really doing anything wrong

Prince has not copyrighted his name, but wouldn't that be nonsense? At least the name "Prince" is popular. I haven't heard of anyone being named "Madonna" except Madonna herself and the Virgin Mary.

Last time I ran into Michael Jackson ( don't ask ),
I asked him, "Yo, thriller-man, don't U have a boy calling himself 'Prince'."
He just went "Please...talk to the hand the Kid is not my son."
