I have to agree in this thread queenv.
African Americans have used names like Major, King, Corporal, Messiah, Deacon... all titles in the same sense that occupational names were once used in England.
This practice actually predates civil rights era and goes back to colonialism. When women were named Queen and Princess, etc.

Hustle and heart will set you apart!
