Depending on where you live in the world, and your age, when someone says 'Fergie' you'll either think of legendary soccer manager and former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, or the female lead of the Black Eyed Peas. It's the latter we're focusing on here!
Obviously, Fergie isn't her real name. That would be Stacy Ann Ferguson. If you have a long memory, and you watched 'Kids Incorporated' when you were younger, you might remember her appearances on that show using her real name. It's not a name that lends itself well to hip hop, though, and so when the Black Eyed Peas were formed she shortened everything down to just an abbreviation of her last name. Now it's impossible to think of her as anything else. We're not sure what was wrong with Stacy as a name though; where is the love?
