Own It
It has to be understood FULLY. A personal name cannot be trademarked or be a trade name. To do so would create absurd results.
If my name was John Smith, and I claim ownership by trademarking my name as a tradename (which is what trademarking is) then that's like saying all the other John Smiths can no longer use their names.
No if I do something that "distinguishes" my name from every other "John Smith" NOW I've got a claim. You can trade mark your signature easy. But, not your ALL CAPS or First Initial Caps name. Unless you add something unique to it. Like Prince when he changed his.
