"Michelle" by The Beatles!!~~~
donna - ritchie valens
i really like michelle though
oooohh listen to BOSTON's "Amanda" that one is awesome you'll love it
Zoe Jane by Staind..reminds me of my little siblings
Helena- MCR
Two faves
Adrienne (The Calling) &
Evie (The Wrights)
was gonna say Allison, but Veronica is a good one from Elvis Costello as well.
Gloria - Patti Smith
Victoria - the Kinks
Aubrey - Bread
Sherry - Franki Valli and the Four Seasons
Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac
Aimee - Pure Prarie League
or
Edie - The Cult
or
Athena - The Who
or
Gloria - The Doors
(geez....I really like all those songs, though I'd have to vote for Michelle by the Beatles)
Layla- Eric Clapton
Amanda- Boston
Angie- The Rolling Stones
Mandy- Barry Manilow
Beth- Kiss
Iris- GooGoo Dolls (I know it's not actually about a girl named Iris but whatever)
Lola- The Kinks
Mary Jane- Janis Joplin
Julia- Limbeck
Emily- Keane (I think it's by Keane, now I can't remember)
I personally think lola or layla takes it. If we could add in one word I would say Charlotte Sometimes by The Cure, but that doesn't count.
I think male names is easier, my favourite being either Adrian by Jewel or Samson by Regina Spektor, but there are a lot of other examples of good ones.
Lea - Toto
Sara - Starship
Lucille - Kenny Rogers
Diana - Paul Anka
Angelia - Richard Marx
Lorelei - Styx
Lorilee - Bread
Gloria - Laura Branigan
Caroline - Seventh Day Slumber
Irene - Toby Mac
Cassie - Flyleaf
*None of the above are love songs by the way, they're songs that tell (really powerful) stories*
"Ruby"-The Kaiser Cheifs
"Maggie May"-Rod Stewart
"Mary Jane"-Coolio
"Shelia"-Jamie T
"Billie Jean"-Michael Jackson
