Prince didn't wantto change his name. The name his mother named him was Prince, but his label trademarked the musical act "Prince" and forbid him from performing or recording under that name. When he changed labels in 2000, he was able to use his name again.
I get it. When he did it, it seemed to me like some kind of egotistical, avant garde stunt. Later I learned that it was a protest against capital explotation, and I changed my view.
