I was looking at Very Best Baby Name Book online, and they had some ideas of name games you could play at a baby shower. One of them involved collecting songs with names in the title. I figured I'd post the songs/names listed in the book (along with any others I can think of), and if other people wanted to add to the list, or just comment, feel free! Any songs/names that others want to contribute, I'll add them to the "official" list.

Hehe. I'm never good at coming up with songs off the top of my head, but I'll hear one and be like, "Oh yeah, that fits!" or be jogged by someone else mentioning a song (or recognize a song someone else mentions). :)

Foreign, but Lane Moja Magla is a Serbian song about a man missing his wife, Magla.
