first name fame?

who in the music world can be called a star just by there first name.....
is someone says.hell yes i think paul is a superstar,is it mccartney or weller?
garry is fab.......glitter or barlow.david is superb,,,bowie or gates.see my point.
but....
elvis.freddie.ringo.etc.

So what you're actually looking for is artists with a unique name?

Something like Elton? Cat? Lenny? Britney? Ozzy?

yes.someone who is recognisable by just there first name.

Like tero! pointed out, this is more to do with the rarity of a name than with celebrity. There is one name that comes to mind, though: Miles.
