1. Prince (“As a form of protest against his record label, Prince felt the need to abandon his moniker. In 1993, he adopted his logo, which he termed the ‘Love Symbol’ and incorporates the glyphs for Mars (male) and Venus (female), as his actual — and unpronounceable — name. He even turned it into several custom guitars.”)

[Since AOL shuttered Spinner in 2013, I don’t feel bad about reproducing their entire listicle 18 years later. You can still see it via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine but I figured I’d save you a click…or 21 clicks. Goddamn listicles. Don’t miss them, that’s for sure. -ed. 3/18/2024]
