He was at the park today. He was a child in a preschool class that uses the park sometimes. That was his given name. His teachers kept saying, "Prince Will!"
My first thought was that maybe it was an inside joke, or that the school does some kind of prince or princess for a day or something.
I'd say that except they were even saying it when asking him to keep his hands to himself. "Prince Will! We do not touch our friends in line!" I don't think they'd stick to prince or princess for a day to reprimand.
Rumor has it my mom wanted to name me ... wait for it ... Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring ... what can I say it was the '70s, and I guess my mom was sort of hippie-ish ... thankfully my dad won that battle and I got a "top 10" name instead ... I don't know what my middle name would have bee? Maybe Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

Baby Girl # 2 TTC Since June 2013 Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016! Thank you snow storm Jonas! EDD 10/15/16 At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
I was wondering if it was a nod to Michael Jackson since he had Prince Michael. Or I supposed it could have been a nod to Prince William but just do William.
I don't understand parents that give a child a funky name. Yes, it can be cute when they are little but you have to imagine them going to a job interview or a meeting and introducing themselves. I think it is just poor taste on the parents end.
I had a student named Sir. Not joking. We refered to him as Sir Carlos as Carlos was his middle name.
I wonder if it's a first middle thing. They were there again today and it was the same again. Apparently he's quite the troublemaker. The kids were calling him that too. Hopefully when he's an adult he will just go by Will.
@Baker_Bride now you have to ask the teachers next time you see them and report back.
I can't. His lead teacher is a dick. He is always screaming at the kids. I give him scathing looks to make him feel guilty for being such an asshat. I think I need to pick a different park.

I bet there is more than one kid named Prince in that class. So they have to go by Prince Middle Name. Prince Will and Prince John, say.
I was always First Name Last initial.
