Some of us do not do well talking to people in real time. Some of us would prefer to make our complaints via email or snail mail, not live chat and phone. Make these options visible on your contact page.

(Also: Anne-Marie, note hyphen, is a valid first name for shipping. The hyphen is a valid character in English orthography. Shape up!)

IIRC, didn't he do that to get around some annoying contract? His music producer had rights to his name-as-Prince, so he changed it? *checks Wikipedia* Well, something like that. It was a weird protest thing, anyway.

'In 1993, while in a contractual dispute with Warner Bros., he changed his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol (Logo. Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar), also known as the "Love Symbol", and began releasing new albums at a faster rate to remove himself from contractual obligations.'

I suspect it's less the fame and more the "has the money to send a lawyer to go down and slap that weird symbol on every form, by hand, at city hall" part. If wikipedia is right, name-changes in the US are more Tedious Jump Through Hoops than Convince A Judge It's Okay, with a few carveouts to keep people from naming themselves trademark violations.
