What would you think if you heard the name...

[BarryBarryTaylor]

Prince?

🙄

Same as pps. I taught a boy named Prince , he was of African origin. Also had a girl named Queen in my class once.

the singer.

or a dog

not a baby (please say it isn't a baby)

oh actually, to be fair, yes I have met kids/adults of African origin with the name, and it doesn't sound odd in that context!

Chavvy

I'd think what kind of muppet names their poor innocent child that.

It reminds me of Prince from Hollyoaks (my guilty pleasure that reminds me of me youth, even if I spend 99% of the time marvelling at the ridiculous storylines).

In my head I'd be singing.....

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince the one and only
I did not come to funk around
'Till I get your daughter I won't leave this town
In the beginning God made the sea
But on the seventh day he made me
He was tryin' to rest y'all when He heard the sound
Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down
I tried to bust a high note, but I bust a string
My God was worried 'til he heard me sing

Then I'd have Prince playing in my head all day.... love him.

I did wonder how long it would take for chavvy to crop up 😒

We did consider Nate but we have a friend who is called that and we see them on a regular basis and I don’t want them to think we have named baby after them. Baby is definitely a boy and due imminently.
I am undecided if I think it’s great or ridiculous and I thought if I put it on here it may help me either way...but it hasn’t

Michael Jackson's eldest son is called Prince.

If you are black go for it. If not, no.

I see it as a black African name so if you're black african then I wouldn't bat an eyelid

If you're not, I'd think you were ridiculous

If an entire thread of people telling you it is ridiculous hasn't helped then I guess you've found the right name for your child?

Ooh how about baby Blanket?

If an entire thread of people telling you it is ridiculous hasn't helped then I guess you've found the right name for your child?

It hasn’t exactly been an entire thread of everyone telling me it’s a ridiculous name though has it?

Is it wrong that I like majesty for a girl (I'm not pregnant just saw the thread)

I would expect it to be the late pop star or a per dog.

I would think it was an African family

I would think poor child.

Why would anyone call a baby, 'Prince' ? Or 'Princess', come to that, unless you are KP and PA.

'Brendon' apparently means 'prince'. I got that information from here:

Why don't you call him Kingsley and then you can call him King for short!!

I’d think African parents- it’s like Blessing or Precious, perfectly normal amongst certain groups

Are you black African OP?

It helps to give context really.

I’d assume they were or African origin.
If they were white British id think it a little more strange for some reason and also assume there are huge prince fans.
However nothing surprises me as I know a little girl with the middle name Elvis.
