Wasn't it Gregory?

It would seem Prince had Gregory as a boy's name chosen for years and years.

'Gregory looks just like a ghost, and then a beautiful girl, the most'... another of his lines that becomes blatantly obvious later on. He is wondering if the kid he has dreamed of will ever happen to him.

This is too sad to even think about now.

I hope it puts a stop to the press coming up with the story he was called 'Boy Gregory'. That was literally from the nannies who registered the death.

Ahmir is a lovely name. <3

That's amazing, actually; that she would mention that. I always thought Gregory was a bit too pedstrian for someone like Prince. I also think "Boy Gregory", if that was on any document (birth, death) was more of a place holder than anything else. Wasn't it one of the nannies that said that when the story was initially leaked?

Ahmir is pretty cool.

don’t really care so much what people say about me because it is a reflection of who they r."

gigilamorosa	Questlove tells a story about Prince telling him that his name (Amir) means prince... maybe it was the other way around. At any rate, they had a convo about Questlove's name.

He was a Boy. On the hospital bassinett is says gender and mother's last name for the name of the baby. They probably chose to put this on the birth and death certs for privacy reasons.

Thanks gigilamorosa.

I had posted this same info on the other thread about the L.A. Memorial:

She was checked into the hospital under an alias "Mia Gregory" (instead of Mayte Garcia) - when there's no name to the baby, hospitals put "boy" or "girl" plus the mother's last name. Hence "boy" - Gregory.

Ahmir would have been an absolutely perfect name...

and I feel like crying all over again after I had stopped about a week ago.

I need to stay away.

don't even bother. you can post this information here 2999 times and people will still
go "no his name was gregory".

never mind that his own mother has now said it was Ahmir. it will still be gregory for
some people.

i'm really sorry but sometimes this place drives me nuts.

Well, no need to be annoyed. I know I have posted this info before in years past, previous threads, as did others, but there are probably new folks on here, so... I bothered.

It did kind of bug me though, that people would think he (and mayte) would be bizarre enough to name their kid something like that, like after Boy George or something!

But I never thought I'd live to see the day when we'd know his real name (I never imagined Prince'd be... not with us). It's such a perfect name, and beautiful.

Makes me so sad.
