    Why is Madonna being called "Madge" these days?

    Question #97811. Asked by star_gazer. (Jul 22 08 8:03 AM)


    BRY2K

    		Pop diva Madonna did not like her nickname ‘Madge’ until she found that it is the British shorthand for ‘Your Majesty’.

    The pop star, who shifted to London to live with her film director spouse Ritchie in the late 1990s, hated it when the local tabloid press began calling her Madge.

    However, when she learnt that the name was an abbreviation of Your Majesty, she became comfortable.

    “Then someone told her it was an abbreviation of Your Majesty. Ever since, she’s settled in quite nicely, that Madge,” Contactmusic quoted Ritchie, as saying.

    What label is Madonna on these days? I heard she signed to Live Nation, so what has happened to her own Maverick Records label?

    Her gym mates called her 'La Guitarra' because her body could curve like a guitar: Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguillera, or Janet Jackson?

    Auxiliary to Question 17598 to establish my point. George Washington is quoted as being born on 11 February 1732. I presume this to mean the date now known as this and called in England at the time 11 February 1731 the year having started on the previous 25 March. Was the day 18 days later,now known as 29 February 1732 then called 29 February 1731 or 1 March 1731 putting the days between the two styles out of phase for 12 months?
