Well, how often would someone think you might be referring to Elvis Costello when you say "I just heard an Elvis-song"?

*Again*, this topic is speaking exclusively of FIRST NAMES. Names like "Madonna" or "Prince" or "Pink" are *designed* to be unique, we are talking about FIRST NAMES that have become bywords because of the awesomeness of the people who bear them.
From wikipedia...
Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson; June 7, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter...
Yes, but he never released under that name, all releases (before it became TAFKAP) were credited to "Prince", so he didn't really leave us much of a choice as to what to call him.

That's a hollow arguement.

There is zero difference in the way Prince and Madonna used their given names as artists. LOL. How far will one guy go not to acknowledge he was poorly equipped for an argument? Which he nonetheless made with all the intemperate, asterisked snottiness he could muster. As always, good for a chuckle and a head shake.

yeah :D
