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.
