Favorite names from songs--something light to discuss

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

We all know that songs with a name in the title (usually a woman's name) are instant hits. What are your favorite names from songs/songs with names/whatever? Has a positive association with a beloved song ever changed your opinion of a name? Has a song you hated ever ruined a name for you?

Admittedly, I am totally into the name Vidalia because of the Sammy Kershaw song. I love cheesy puns, so when he begs "Tell me why, sweet Vidalia, you always gotta make me cry?" I just get the biggest kick. I also love that the first verse of the song is about how she got her name (parents' names are Violet and Dale) and how her parents didn't realize when they combined her name that they were dooming her to an onion-y lifetime of making men cry.

The George Strait song "Adalida" has gotten me intrigued by that name.

I was named after a song- Melissa by the Allman Brothers.

I love the song Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits, since Juliet is my daughter's name.

My sister was also named after a song- Amanda by Boston.

My mom wasn't named after the Weezer song Susanne, but it's a song I like :)

Names I like from songs are some of the more typical ones: Layla (Eric Clapton) Jamie (Weezer) and Jonas (Weezer.)
