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 love love love Haligh from the Bright Eyes song. And Lyla from the song by Oasis. Actually thinking about it, I'll have to run Lyla Haligh by my husband. :)

oh i love the song, but i don't care for the name. i always wondered where he found it.

I actually just looked the song up on songmeanings.net to see if any of them had any ideas about it, and apparently Haligh means holy, and also a type of apple cider that has bones in it. Eek.

Oooh and Georgia from "Why Georgia" by John Mayer. And Sierra from the song by Cursive.

I've always loved the name Georgia, and I'm pretty sure "Georgia On My Mind" had something to do with it.

when I hear Georgia I think of Conway Twitty's "Georgia Keeps Pulling on My Ring."
