Subject: Madonna Changed Her Name!

Written By: Joelle on 06/17/04 at 7:28 pm

Madonna changes name to Esther

Madonna has reportedly changed her name to Esther. The singer was inspired to take on a new name by her study of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah.

Madonna is rarely seen out without Kabbalah’s trademark red string bracelet.

Her husband, Guy Ritchie, is also a follower of Kabbalah.

Madonna and Guy have a son together, four-year-old Rocco, and Madonna has a seven-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from her previous relationship with her former personal trainer, Carlos Leon.

She said the best thing about growing older was getting smarter. The key to a successful marriage is learning to apologise, she said.

Wasn't there more posts on this thread, or did Esther/Madonna steal our comments? :-\\
BTW, Joelle, this thread is in the PPP forum, too. ;)

Personally, I would prefer that she retained her name but changed her career  ;)

Reminds me of that scene in "The Doors" when Jim Morrison tells Bobby Krieger "Why don't you just change your name to Stan, or Irving, it's just a name"

Maybe David Bowie should change his name back to Ziggy Stardust like he did in the 70's. ;D

Old news, this happen pretty much earlier this year.

At least she didn't change her name to a "symbol" or some stupid like "P. Diddy" or "Diddy".  ::)

I heard she changed her name from "Skank" to the more British-sounding "Trollop".

I dunno.  Is "skank" a frame of mind, or an act of participation?  Esther Madonna is fairly conservative for someone who could get as much as she wants, whenever she wants.  If I could have availed myself as many trysts as I wanted, It prolly would have killed me by now!

[i[Skank has many uses:

Noun: "She is a world class skank"

Verb: "Man, Esther really skanked up the British Isles"

Adjective:  "She has a really skanky attitude"

Adverb:  "She carried herself skankily"

But you haven't addressed the definition of "skank."  You've only given a few examples of usage.

Is that intended as a microbiologist joke?  (given that the E of E Coli stands for Escherichia)... implying she's some kind of bug that lives in the gut?
