Madonna is planning on changing her name to "Esther". She says that as she has gotten older and more mature, she thinks "Madonna" is no longer appropriate. Now that she's a mother, she teaches her children how to be responsible: they have to actually clean up their rooms and say "thank you" when someone compliments them and everything.
And please, no teasing.
Never mind that Esther was a beautiful virgin in The Bible. The most beautiful virgin given to the King (Esther 2:2-7).
Yep. That describes her perfectly
(Austin Powers voice here--"Raaaaiiiigggghhhtt...")
Everything in "Madonna", starting with the name, was engineered by the same people that designed the upgrade 20 years later, Britney Spears.
Poor kid.

She certainly looks older.

I think Madonna is her birth name - Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone.
Watching a woman enter a mid life crisis is always ugly.....
And her rose by any other name will still be as skank.
Queen of Babylon?????
I dont' know about changing her children's names. Unfortunately, "Moon Unit" and "Dweeble" have already been taken.
Doesn't "Madonna" sorta mean "Mother"?
Ester of the Bible??? I don't think she can come close, does anyone know what her REAL name is???
What's a Madonna?
It's Dweezil....
sw
AHHHH!HAAAAA!HAAAAAA!HAAAAAAA!HAAAAAAAAA!!!
Stop it Madon-err, I mean Esther, you're KILLING me!!!!
Why don't you just call yourself the SL*T formerly known as Madonna?
Is she actually going to use this name regularly? When I saw it reported, I had the idea that it would be like a Catholic confirmation name... used in one's faith, but not every day. I don't know much about Kabbalah... how much is what I thought was to be her "faith" name actually going to be used?
She's getting as weird as Michael Jackson in her own way.
"Well isn't that special!" - Church Lady.
You're correct...I was in the doctor's office last week, and all they had to read was old issues of People...BTW, put a pic of Madonna next to one of Sarah Jessica Parker...they look like sisters..
"Queen of Babylon???"
Since Bablyon was in what is now modern-day Iraq, maybe she's got the hots for Saddam Hussein.
Do other countries make such a fuss over what an idle minded celebrity chooses to do with her empty life?
Raise your hand if you care.
That's what I thought.
...or Coco.
"Since Bablyon was in what is now modern-day Iraq, maybe she's got the hots for Saddam Hussein."
Nah, he was found in a "pit", she is awaiting the next "King of Bablyon".
Believe it or not, it is a term used to describe the Blessed Virgin.
Which means she shoulda changed her name a looooong time ago!
(What was the harlot's name in Jericho? Rahab? Something like that?)
More like the "Whore of Babylon"...
>Unfortunately, "Moon Unit" and "Dweeble" have already been >taken.
I think it's Dweezle. Not that it matters, they are both ridiculous names.
I like "Ether" better.
Esther Blodgett?
Just mythoughts "Queen of Babylon???" ~ Just mythoughts
"More like the "Whore of Babylon"
Ah, reading mythoughts!!!! LOL

In the same vein as "Prince" went he became "The Artist",
Maybe she should be referred to as:
"The slut formerly known as Madonna"
Or just "The Slut" for short.
Who cares?
Plastic surgery does wonders to make every hollyweird personality look exactly the same.
Yes. They're not just your thoughts...

"Esther is MY name, sucka, and ain't know cheap FLOOZY gonna go 'round RUININ IT fo' me. A-MEN, sistas."
Pop Culture is so boring.
Huh?
Yes, it's as simple as that.
Martin, Anthony, Christopher, Madonna, Paula, Melanie, Mario & Jennifer ... isn't that obvious at the first glance ?
So, what happened to "Madge"?
I'm thinking of changing my name to "John C. Holmes."
Madonna Louise is her real name. She is from a Italian family and while "Madonna" is not that common, its not unheard of (according to my NY Italian friends) She was named after her mother.
"Lourdes" is a common french name for girls.
It really annoys me when people pick on names just because they are not John, Mary, Mike.not that there is anything wrong with those names, but not all names have to be WASP.
There are lots of things to pick on Madonna about, but her real name (and that of her child's) shouldnt be one of them.
Anna Nicole Smith, literally a dumb f@#K!
She was weird when Michael Jackson was still cool.
When she remakes herself for the 50th time will she be "Polyester"?
According to what law? and in what state?
I don't really know if this is appropriate or not to mention here, but perhaps this explains much of her Anti-American Behavior lately: I believe she's half French! (LOL) - a Fact I pulled down once from a web page I have long since forgotten!
Isn't WHAT obvious? What ARE you talking about?
