People who "own" their first name?

[Yappi]

Name people who have a monopoly on recognition for their first name. These would be people who have a first name that if someone mentioned it, everyone would think of only that person.

Some examples:
1. Jesus
2. Elvis
3. LeBron
4. Prince
5. Madonna

These need to be real first names, not nicknames like "Babe". They can be variations of their first name like "John" for Jonathan.

My first thought was the rock group. I think he has significant competition for the name anyhow.

It's hilarious what people will forget about someone, so long as that someone is on their "team".
