I had a friend in high school who was named Madonna but always went by Donna. We graduated in 1988 so we were born well before Madonna appeared on the scene.
I don't know if I'd use it today because of it's close association with the entertainer. I think Donna is acceptable.

Unfortunately, the name will be associated with the notorious singer for a long time. Additionally, some people may consider the name to be sacrilegious (although religious families have used the name Madonna).

I know a woman named Madonna(not the actress)-standard Canadian citizen.

Well, I would always associate it with the singer. I think everyone else would too. That's why I wouldn't use it.

I don't find it usable. Because of 'M', I find it tacky.

Yes, any name is usable, celebs don't have rights to any names they may use on thier children, or on themselves, but I don't think Madonna is that pretty.

Its cool, but maybe better for a middle name.

Actually i LOVE the name Cher, lol, from the french Chere "darling"
But Madonna is one of the names i'm considering, and i noticed you posted one on Cleopatra too. I think you've been picking names off my list! I don't mind.

Only if she had siblings named Sting and Cher.

No, I don't think it's usable. To me, it either sounds like an extremely tacky reference or a tad blasphemous--I'd rather leave that title to Mary and the other Madonna.
