No, Fergie's real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson, and she was first brought to light with her singing back in the early 1980's when she was still just a kid. First, she was the voice of Sally Brown on the Peanut's Gang (in 1983), and then when she was just 8 years old, she was on a show that featured on the Disney Channel called Kids Inc. (Kid's Incorporated). This was a show mainly about kids who hung out together, formed a band and helped each other through the usual kid's issues. Her name on the show was Stacy (Fergie didn't come til later). In 1990, she became part of an all female band called Wild Orchid. They released 2 albums, but the record company declined the 3rd. During this time she also was a Bongo model and had her show called "The Great Pretenders" which aired on Fox Family. But, she left the show for therapy and she started doing Ecstasy. Soon thereafter, she was on Crystal Meth, and when her weight dropped to 90lbs, she lied and said she was Bulimic.

She was a back up singer at some of the Los Angeles venues and she met will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas at one of them, and soon joined the band. When the background singer, Kim Hill left the group in 2000, Stacy filled in for her, and after 5 songs, she became a permanent member. That's where she took the stage name "Fergie". Now she does have a solo career, but will still remain with the group, as well. She considers her solo as a side project.

In 2006, her solo cd hit the stores and that was called Dutchess. It's just the name of the CD. Hope this helped!

I think you're confusing Stacy Ferguson (Fergie) with Sarah Ferguson, former Dutchess of York, who still has the title as Dutchess, but is no longer royalty.

Fergie, the singer, semi-duplicated the name of Sarah Ferguson, (called "Fergie"), who IS a real Dutchess (of York, after marrying Prince Andrew, Duke of York - they're divorced now). Stacey Ferguson (singer) known as Fergie, the Dutchess, intentionally left out "of York" to avoid any lawsuits.

Sarah Ferguson was given that title when she married Prince Andrew. He was given the title the Duke of York. She got to keep the title after the divorce but lost the title of Royal Highness.

Well, no. Honestly, she's not that good and she's a wannabe of everything! I guess her songs are sort of good, I liked Glamorous a lot, but that's it. The Duchess is what her CD is called, but that's it. She didn't buy it or anything, it's just her CD title.

Sarah Ferguson, who married Prince Andrew, was The Duchess Of York.

Since the divorce she no longer has that title.

If you mean the singer, then no she isn't.

The way she's acting, peeing herself, getting ugly body peircings, being a rapper, a 30 year old acting 21, and so on, of course not...

I was always under the impression that she married into the title, as did Princess Diana.

no.. That's just her cd title name "the duchess"

Yes she is, but not the Fergie you are thinking of.

Haha. No way. She's actually from an old show called "Kid's Incorporated". Which you are probably too young to remember.
