Lady Macca may refer to:

  • Heather Mills, Sir Paul McCartney's second wife, (see, for example, Private Eye, 25 May 2006; London Evening Standard, 8 August 2006 - "Lady Macca's battle royal"), who was also referred to as Mucca (Sunday Times, 13 August 2006 - "Macca v Mucca: the hidden agenda"; London Lite, 25 January 2007 - "Lady Mucca meets Princess Michael)
  • Lady Macbeth, the wife of Macbeth in Shakespeare's play[dubious – discuss]

As the link says, it is a fairly common nickname for people (especially sportsmen) with Mc or Mac prefixed to their surname.

So weird.

Anyway... I am trying to find out why many Paul-fans call him 'Macca'.

Is it a shortening for McCartney? Because I think that's the only explenation for the nick-name.
