[quote=Anonymous]My sister had a student named Bishop in her class. It may be a family name. In some African American families in the South, titles were used as names, since white people always addressed African Americans familiarly,by their first names. Giving a title as a first name was a way of forcing the use of a title. This may be why some African Americans use Prince as a first name (e.g. Michael Jackson's grandfather, for whom his sons are named)[/quote]
