When Prince changed his name to "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince", how were we supposed to pronounce that weird symbol he used?

you werent, that was the point, warner bros had trade marked his actual name, and they wanted more poppy music and in less quantity so in order to to what he wanted he renounced his birth name.

@wheels1972 We weren't supposed to pronounce it? Then how were people supposed to ask for his latest album if they didn't see it in the shops?

What did he do instead of poppy music? Rose music? Carnation music? Daffodil music? Geranium music? Lily music?
