Duke Ellington? Earl Woods?And there's Uncle Duke from Doonesbury, and here's the page of people with the first name Earl - all Americans with 2 or 3 Canadians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_%28given_name%29, while Prince and Majesty (Jermajesty...) are more contemporary names, largely in the black community.
