I believe several are worthy of such an honor. Right off the bat , I would nominate:
- Whispers - Yeah, he's still active. Yeah, I disagree with a lot he says. But, when he's gone, the last thing I want is somebody using that name (or a similar one) while trying to "take it to the next level" (be it up or down). Those who try to imitate right now make it clear there's only one.
- Amerie - I saw "LadyAmerie" in the Provider Ads and my heart skipped a beat. I must have clicked that link 12 times before it opened. I don't know if "LadyAmerie" is trying to capitalize on the name or not. Hell, I don't know who used the name first. I do know I was greatly disappointed.
