It is pronounced 'ma done' and is named after a mountain in France. I always thought it was Mad One too until this year and I heard them talk about it on the "Chasing Lance" show on DiscoHD.
From Cyclingnews.com
Lance actually named the bike himself after the Col de la Madone in Menton, France, where Armstrong tested himself in training. “The Col de la Madone is a 12km climb that starts in the French village of Menton. It rises from close to sea level to 927 meters. Cyclists have long used it to test themselves. Having lived in Nice for four years, I rode it many times as well. The record of 31:30 stood for many years, until in 1999 when I broke it with a 30:47. For me, the Madone is the ultimate test. It always tells me if I’m ready - ready to ride fast and ultimately, win the Tour de France. It never fails.”

I like Litespeed of course, but a 2nd vote would be for "Le pimp juicer", and a distant 3rd "The shaggin shagasorus"

I have one of those. Army green, singlespeed, salsa rims/surly hubs, just ordered a B17 saddle for it--------------
Pinarello Dogma has got to be the best name for a bike.
