OMG!! i can't even believe this!! She wants to be called Esther????? :eyebrow

My mum just said this was on the news, but i didn't believe her so i checked it out and found this site ^(above) i mean i'm not exactly a fan but, madonna is madonna ya know.. this is sssoooo weird!

I mean........... um... actually i'm just speechless..... i can't even think of anything else to type...

what do you guys think 'bout this? did anyone see this coming?..

Larisa-chan 16th June 2004 09:19 PM

what, being named after the Virgin Mary isn't good enough for her? =x

No one's going to call her Esther except maybe her family lol. She'll always be known as Madonna. (her full name is like Madonna Louise Ciccone or something anyways.. so is she just going to replace Madonna with Esther? Esther Louise... hahahahhahahha)

boogieordie 16th June 2004 09:21 PM

Wow. Whatever!

Watch, in a few days Britney will want to change her name too. She started following Kabbalah because of Madonna..

ahahahahahaha :roflmao :roflmao

She might as well call herself "bubba"... she'd sell more CDs that way :hahano

iloveayu04 16th June 2004 09:36 PM

Esther??? :eyebrow

It sounds so Driving-Miss-Daisy-like. I'm starting to think she's letting her Kabbalah teachings take control of her life. It seems as though everything she does, is influenced by Kabbalah.. I wonder if we are commoners should be worried by what the celebs are doing.

silentscreamer 17th June 2004 01:27 AM

what is she thinking ..... lol

Ayufan11 17th June 2004 01:52 AM

maybe since her kids are growing up she wants to change her name so they wont get much of her past... but I also think she is crazy and will always be known for madonna

AfanforXX 17th June 2004 02:09 AM

it's all the kabbalah crap x_x

ll moments ll 17th June 2004 02:57 AM

^ exactly. i think only her kabbalah posse will call her esther.

MariachiGurl2005 17th June 2004 03:59 AM

she must be smoking the wrong kind ( if u know what I mean) she must be stupid renaming herself! good grief! she's the queen of pop, its like michael naming himself as phil of something....that's not cool

-BOKU- 17th June 2004 04:02 AM

-hanabi- 17th June 2004 05:06 AM

It is an old lady name. My coworker is named Ester (yes, without the h, but close enough lol) and she's 60+ years old.

From my college notes (lol):

----------------
Kabbalism -Kabbal – Hebrew book of mysticism
-metaphysical + mystical, a system by which the elect shall know God + the universe
-person will gain knowledge above common knowledge + allow him to understand the profound meaning + plan of creation
-esoteric knowledge – it contains secrets that are imminent; the secrets are in the holy scriptures
-that knowledge can’t be grasped by those who understand the text literally
-The Old Testament is a book of symbols + the narratives are like a cloak that cover those sublime revelations
-Hebrew letters in which texts are written are not just signs
-the letters/numbers in sacred scripture are reservoirs of divine power
-a realm of magic + divination
-------------------
From Johnny Weir, a figure skater who practices Kabbalism: Kabbalah which is an ancient Jewish mystical belief system. It is about shedding your ego and killing negative energy.
-------------------
People who practice Kabbalism may sometimes mistakenly be considered Jewish, but Judaism has rejected this practice. (Though I'm sure there are Jewish people who practice it, but I hope you get what I'm saying).

How odd...let's hope Ayu doesn't change her name too x___X'

ohsixthirty 17th June 2004 06:52 AM

Hrm...I'm pretty open minded, but it seems like Madonna is taking her religion a bit too far. I mean, I've also heard that she has dumped some of her long-time friends because they were not Kabbalhists too...and that is just crappy to do. Well...whatever she wants to do is her business, but she is still Madonna whether she likes it or not! Haha!

-BOKU- 17th June 2004 07:20 AM

wow thanx Larisa :shughug ive never heard of that... sounds intesting though

The whole shedding ur ego.. is gunna seem very hard for madonna, IMO. :think

well .. not all names are specifically made for "old people" or "young people"

my friend who's 16 is called Esther too

btw ester's a functional group in organic chemistry ^^;;
sorry i have a chem final tomorrow hehe

HanabiChick 17th June 2004 10:48 AM

She's taking this a step too far - to get spiritual peace of mind you don't need to hand over most of your dosh, or do things like this. Smells like a get-rich-quick scheme... and these people are being taken for one serious ride.

JimmyKoria 17th June 2004 08:44 PM

I want to change my name now too =o everyone call me shazam! And I can ride a cool bike called "willie" and we can save the town!...okay Im trying to lighten up my day with that one, but on a serious note...

I think its neat that shes changing her name, everything else about her always changes, but the name, maybe she'll start acting her age...who knows, maybe next week she'll be wearing a mumu(sp) and throwing cats at passer-by-ers

I'm reminded of that crazy lady on The Simpsons who throws cats at people :laugh

Perhaps with her new name, "Esther" will have a new target audience of people older than 60!

"Everybody do the Grandma! Shake your canes up in the air! Shake 'em like you just don't care!"

:eyebrow

eeek I know that lol I'm sorry if I offended you.. but some names just remind me of old people ^.^** my summer job's at a retirement home and the people there are in their 80s.. so their names are like Ella, Bertha, Dorothea, Viola, etc. etc.

HanabiChick 18th June 2004 04:57 PM

How about - 'my cats', it'll be how they came to her house to escape the capitalist world :laugh

FancySN 19th June 2004 06:53 AM

Oh jesus. You know, if she was a true believer, she wouldn't change her name. No, instead, she'd do something MUCH more basic--maybe stop singing the ocassional naughty songs, being provocative on music videos, and showing cleavage?!?!?!
Yea, ever thought about THAT?!?!
I mean, okay, I might not know exactly what Kabbalism emphasizes, but I can't IMAGE it supporting cleavage.

starr5245 19th June 2004 08:44 AM
