Names in songs

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Has a song ever made you like a name more or even less? For me, Rhiannon was killed by the Fleetwood Mac song, but it made me think about other song/name associations that I do like, though not all are names I would use.

People these days have terrible taste in names. I hope no one on this forum ever has children.

 How do you guys feel about naming your child after a person(s) who have inspired you? A teacher, a family member, a friend, etc.

Well, I've always been a huge believer in doing so -- especially with the people in my life -- but I'm in a bit of a dilemma. The hubby and I are trying to conceive again, and since he had the "privilege" of naming our current daughter (Emily May -- after his best friend and his mother), I get to be the deciding factor this time around. But all of the people I want to name my children after... unfortunately, don't have any of my favorite names.

The people are:
Taryn Lawson
Erica Marie
Kimberly Jane
Sara Lynn
Andrew James
John Alexander
Douglas Ryan
Trent Lane

The only combo of those names that I like in the tiniest bit is John Douglas or Douglas John. Stretching it a bit, I like Sara Jean (a lot). I also got the idea from a friend to do a sort of acronym... but nothing has really come up that I like. I like old-fashioned, long names. Any ideas?

Top fives...

I seem to recall us playing this game a few months ago, maybe, but I really enjoyed it and am bored now, so I'll start it again: list your top five names for each letter of the alphabet per gender.

Because I don't think that the LJ comment system could handle it, we'll start with boys' names, A-G.

Also, please note that some of these names are names that I least dislike as opposed to most like.
