Title names for boys
Came across a man named Princewell. Based on his surname, I believe he/his family is from West Africa. I think it's charming tbh.This reminded me of a boy I went to school with who I think his name was Prince Jamal or Prince Jamar... he went by just his second name. I remember thinking it was an odd name but kinda cool just cuz it was different. I got the impression he disliked it lol.Also met boys named:
King
Justice
Major (my least favorite cuz it's so militaristic)
DeaconHave you ever met a a boy/man with a title as a name? WDYTO names like this? Are there any you like?ॐ मणिपद्मे हूं

I really don't like titles as names. At least Princewell is doing something with it and not just using the title as is so I like it better than the others.

I once knew a Baron. (And not that one.)

Princewell is a bit too much for me but it’s different and sounds cool. I know a Justice and many people with the surname King, but never as a first name. I don’t like Major or Deacon. I know Prince’s real name was Prince though and that’s great when you wanna be a pop star.

I knew a Queenie and a guy named Justice. Queenie is ok cause she is cute as hell and the name suits her because she acts like a kind queen, but Justice on a boy or girl baby is too heavy for me. Too expectant.

There is a reporter on CBS news named Major Garrett. It sounds so dumb when other reporters or anchors address him as Major, because it's the same way you'd address an army major and of course he isn't. So it feels pretentious.
I know of a woman whose first name is Lady. Addressing her by her first name, as she asked for me to do, felt downright rude, like a NYC cabbie: Where to, lady?I think giving titles as first names is silly.
