I knew a Prince and an Apollonia in high school.

Prince was a tall lanky ugly thing that worked in a restaurant and Apollonia was a big fat ugly thing that did nothing.

It was kind of a shame.

Is she naming him Prince after Prince?

Would she at least consider Roger(s) or Nelson instead?

I just don't get folk naming their babies after celebrities they don't know.

I guess it's not really that different (or better or worse) than other random reasons for picking a name tho. shrug

I wanted to name my son Prince but my wife wouldn't go for it.

That doesn't mean he's not "my little Prince", right?

I'm okay with people naming their babies after celebrities as long as they actually like the name and it isn't some weird obsession thing.

I like it. The kid will likely get his fair share of torture for being named Prince, but then kids will ALWAYS find some reason or another to torment one another. shrug

And my personal opinion is that naming your child Prince is actually preferable to an ubiquitous, "trend of the moment" name which took no thought to come up with and has absolutely no meaning behind it.

My daughter's father wanted to name our baby 'Apollonia' (not after Apples, he just loved the name).

I put an end to that shit in a quickness. lol

Well hopefully he's Got the Look to be named after Prince. Hopefully he'll grow up with Adonis-like looks where his name can be backed up with his face and body-type. Good luck to him with it.

And be ready for the sit-ins at the psychological appointments

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

I would have seriously named my son Prince, had my wife not stepped in...

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I thought I read someplace once that someone told Prince they were gonna name their kid after him and he was like, "Please don't"?

Probably the 'idolatry' factor and the fact that yeah, a kid named Prince, is gonna get picked on by all the other kids..."Your folks named you Prince, huh? Well, YOU ain't so special..." *punch goes here*.

My kids are going to be named "Prince", "Michael" and "Madonna".

Assuming that two of them are boys and one is a girl.

Actually it doesn't matter.

This kid will have the worst childhood ever if he is going to be named Prince. Make sure your sister goes with johnart's idea, if anything.

I have a six year old nephew named Prince. His mother is not a Prince fan, just thought her son was a prince. It's so weird hearing people call his name.

Personally, it creeps me out people love celebrities they have never met before. How can you love somebody you don't know so much you'd name a kid after him/her? neutral

If I may, I'd like to advise anyone who's thinking about naming their kids after a celeb to think about it a little more and ask people about it you thrust and who aren't a fan of that celeb. Just my 2 cents.

the only celebrity i love is prince, and thats just because i feel like i know him.....hard to explain, but i just got a feeling, u cant tell me that u have never felt any love for someone u have never met! And im pretty Young right now, and as i become older and actually start having kids i probably wont consider those names anymore, i will probably end up using them as middle names..if anything. And what is so wrong about loving someone u have never met.....thats like asking how can u hate hitler?....u have never met him.
