Is it true that the musician Prince was born with the legal birth name Prince Rogers Nelson?

Yes. A Wikipedia reference states that Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis on June 7, 1958, directly confirming the birth name. Several other sources use the name Prince Rogers Nelson for the musician but do not explicitly call it his birth name.
