So what you're actually looking for is artists with a unique name? Something like Elton? Cat? Lenny? Britney? Ozzy? |
| david (galashiels) 21.08.2012 03:18 |
yes.someone who is recognisable by just there first name. |
| thomasquinn 32989 21.08.2012 04:54 |
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. |

Uh, Prince and Madonna are their birth names. Pink's real first name is Alecia or something. Anyway, how about Aretha? |

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. |

Edit because it has already been said. |

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. |
| waunakonor 22.08.2012 21:07 |
I'd just like to throw out there that Elvis is not one of those names because...Presley or Costello? |
| thomasquinn 32989 23.08.2012 03:39 |
Well, how often would someone think you might be referring to Elvis Costello when you say "I just heard an Elvis-song"? |
| waunakonor 25.08.2012 20:50 |
I actually might. |
