Prince is a common name among people of Color?

I've been alive for 45yrs in the States and Prince is the only man of color I know names Prince.
Cannot count Michael Jacksons son.

I know a few and Ahmir is Prince in Arabic and it is very common.

Ahmir is arabic.

Prince Rogers Nelson is the only Prince I knew of know of

Okay maybe not now, but in the Slavery and Jim Crow era it was. Prince was born in 1958 after all and his parents were southern Blacks. The name is a bit out of date then and very so now.

.

It is like someone naming their child really old names like Archibald, Edmund, Ethel, Maud, Clorine, Arlene and Obadiah I guess.

Moon said he made more money off the song thanks to MC Hammer's sampling of it than he did on the Prince version. The rapper used it as the basis for "She's Soft and Wet," a track on his 1990 blockbuster album "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em."

"Anyone who buys this probably shouldn't be doing it for financial purposes," Moon admitted. "It's more about owning one of the most unique collectibles ever related to Prince."

Why not credit the actual source: the Star Tribune article?

same reason why MJ named his sons Prince. Just to rub it in.

I'd always just assumed that Michael gave him that name because he was known as The King Of Pop

.

"he was known as" -- what BS. He required MTV call him that.

jdcxc said:

The Tribune article underestimates the Royalties this song has probably generated for Moon (I don’t know why they didn’t ask him). For You- 500,000 Single- 350,000 Hits- 2,000,000 Kiss B Side- ? 4Ever- 1,000,000 MCHammer- 10,000,000 Not to mention performance fees, digital sales, international sales, etc. My calculated Guess is that he has made $500,000 already on the one song.

how do they break up songs on an album? if there are 10 songs is each one 1/10?

and then what would the % be? maybe 5% so 2.5%? So even at a dollar each.... 2.5 cents is $550K...and I suspect that is high. But maybe that is why he used that amount?

For the Prince fan who has everything. I bet Questlove wants it.

it is just for bragging rights... and it doesn't include publishing so the owner can not sell it to be used for any reason without the permission from whoever is the admin for the publishing company.

It will never pay for itself... and you can not do anything with it.

I don't think that can even be backed that up, that Prince was a common name during the Slave and Jim Crow period in America. Maybe as a middle name or nickname?

names like Sunday Tuesday April May June August December Christmas America Easter were regular slave names
.
I mean you started out saying it was a very common name in America, then switched to it being a common name during the slavery and Jim Crow period. Did you get that from a site called Behind the Name?

.

.

...naming your child Prince or Princess is just setting them up for teasing

...sounds like a gay man's nickname...

.

.

My parents both mixed race born in the 1940s have never know a person of color named Prince

I'm not saying there were no people named Prince(outside of Prince Rogers Nelson) but Prince wasn't/isn't a common name

.

I know of an actress named Countess, Gulianna DePandi gave her son the middle name Duke

.

Prince might have been a popular middle name?

.

Royalty names just sound like names you would call a pet dog cat bird or horse

Over the last 25 years, I have known 3 or 4 people named Prince as a first name... all were born after Prince was well known.

That took years and who ever buys this will be limited due to small revenue today because of streaming and no one is buying MC Hammer's music. I doubt the estate will allow it to be licensed for movies or commericials. He has a right to sell it but he is asking too much.

Not sure why he does not go to Universal.

Personal life[edit]

Fielder was named after the musician Prince.[58] He married his wife Chanel in 2005 during the Triple-A All-Star break while playing for the Nashville Sounds. They have two children named Jadyn and Haven.[59] Fielder filed for divorce in May 2013. By March 2014, he and his wife had reconciled.[60]

Fielder has a tattoo on the left side of his neck that reads, "왕자", Korean for "Prince".[61]

At one time, it was widely publicized that Prince was a vegetarian[62] but he has since admitted that he lasted only about three months before giving it up.[63]

He is not selling it as an investment for royalties.... its value, in terms of future earnings, is a few thousand MAX. Maybe $5K... and it comes with zero say it how it is used.

1 person. Plus Prince + Michael Jacksons son

Prince is not a common name. Nor is Beyonce, in America, in France it is. She beign Creole descendant. But as a result a few people have named their girl child 'Beyonce' which can be bad for the child if she isn't fine.

People name their children after celebs all the time. And in the arts/music circle all kinds of names are used or among hippies

Not sure about your numbers. The Greatest Hits packages which sold well gave Moon thousands in royalties (Industry Rate= .091 * Numbers sold). That song will be sold forever. Not to mention possible movies, commercials, performances. I agree that the song’s value has probably peaked, but you never know with future WB marketing plans and use.

.091 of what? and is that not cut in half? And with 10 songs (really more on average) that becomes less than half a cent per. But at 22Million that is 990K. So maybe it will pay for itself.

but if one was to buy this ....wouldnt they STILL have to confer with those estaters ?

luvsexy4all said:

no, what would happen is the name on the royalty checks changes. but owning half the song, in this case, doesn't come with ANY authority as to its use. Prince was advised (by Chris or Owen) to create a publishing company... all the publishing rights were retained by Prince's publishing company Ecnirp... (yes I have known that for decades) so Chris never had any say and neither will anyone that buys his share.

Then he is trying to sucker people with that price and he must be in need of funds.
