Girls names from songs....

[~CherryCola~]

Just wanting suggestions. DD is Layla (although not named after the song) but it could be a theme... if I even want a theme LOL


So hit me with them!

Well Iris (by the googoo dolls) is my favourite but i am not sure that it is actually mentioned in the song.

The only other one i can think of right now is Lucy.

Hmm I like a theme and it is a nice place to start for ideas. I asked DH and he is throwing songs at me faster than I can type.

Michelle or Eleanor - from The Beatles and My Michelle by Guns N Roses

Roxanne - from The Police

Dianna and Rose or Eliza Jane - Nick Cave

Mary - Jimi Hendrix and Sad Water by Johnny Cash

Alice and Marianne - Sisters of Mercy

Charlotte - Charlotte Sometimes by The Cure

Rosie - AC/DC

Betty - from Leadbelly's Black Betty (lots of later versions too)

Suzanne - Leonard Cohen

Candy - Iggy Pop

Angie - Rolling Stones

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond

Sherona - The Knack

Mona - Craig Mclaughlin

Wendy - Tomorrow Wendy by Concrete Blonde

Sheila - P J Harvey

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Clementine - Stephen Foster

Oh dear, he has started looking at the CD collection. I fear for our next child...

Ok, I set DH the task of finding a boy's name from a song. He came up with:

Nigel - We are making plans for Nigel by XTC.

Here is the music video: YouTube - XTC: Making Plans for Nigel

Are there any decent songs with male names?

Sarah and Eoxanne were the first 2 too pop into My head... funny cause our Roxy is a Sarah lol

Oh and Gloria



Boys names

Alfie by Lily Allen

Chelsea - we picked that name up from a song

Senga - Isnt your DH sweet! Thanks!

ClareL - Thanks for the list!

Eternal Angel - Thanks

Well what a great idea!

(this is exactly what we have done )

We have

Layla, Evie and Gabriella here, from the songs Layla, Evie and Gabrielle! (we cheated with the last one and changed the e to an a though!)

Others on our shortlist of song names were Josephine and Alice, not sure about boy names though, ours were all pink!
