The album is not clearly divided between [[Prince]] tracks and [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] tracks, but, despite the track’s title, the timing of the track’s recording places it shortly before his public announcement of his name change to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]], and the liner notes' discussion of this track state "After the increasing amounts of lollipops using the name [[Prince]], the original came hard with this one", so it is credited to [[Prince]] in this entry. A portion of the song was premiered on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_14|14 June 1993]] on the "Paisley Park Hotline" telephone service, which promised to reveal [[Prince]]’s new name (having announced the name change to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_7|7 June 1993]]). Instead, the song only created more confusion about his name. In August 1993, [[What’s My Name]] was included in the [[Project: Glam Slam Ulysses|Glam Slam Ulysses]] stage-show, during the segment titled "Scylla" (segueing directly into the uncredited track [[Orgasm|Poem]], later reworked as [[Orgasm]]). |

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in mid to late May 1993 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions that also produced [[Space]], [[Pope]], [[Strays Of The World]], [[Interactive]], [[Solo]], and a reworked version of [[Race]]). | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in mid to late May 1993 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions that also produced [[Space]], [[Pope]], [[Strays Of The World]], [[Interactive]], [[Solo]], and a reworked version of [[Race]]). | ||
