Another bearer in literature. In "Wizards Don't Wear Graduation Gowns", book #45 of the "Bailey School Kids" book series, the assistant principal, who is really a wizard, is named Madge Jhick. This name was intentionally chosen by the author that "Madge Jhick" sounds like the word "magic" if you say it fast.
