10 girl’s names from songs

Altogether now:

“Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!
And do you, do you, do you, do you?
Know what you’re doing doing to me?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby! “

I love this name and would be happy for someone to sing it at me every time they met me

Super cool song, by the amazing Cab Calloway (another great name):

“She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale”

My Auntie Margaret loved Rod Stewart, so I’ve chosen this one in her memory. It’s also a great one:

“Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you
It’s late September and I really should be back at school”

Rock around the clock with this song. It gets me dancing every time.

“Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart.
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart.
I played for it, baby, and gave you such a wonderful start.”

This name is one of my favourites and one I would have chosen if I’d had a daughter:

“Layla, you’ve got me on my knees.
Layla, I’m begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won’t you ease my worried mind.”

I loved the Strawberry Switchblade version of this when I was a teen. Now I think Dolly has the upper hand:

“Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene”

Well, I couldn’t write a blog about songs and not include the Beatles, it just wouldn’t feel right!

“Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream”

Oh Mr Jones, thank you for an amazing song to sing at the top of my voice in the car:

“My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn’t take any more”

There’s a couple of name songs by these guys, the other one’s Kathleen

“Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been”

OK, so this one’s about the place not the name, but I think it would be a lovely name so it’s going in!:

“She’s got a family in Carolina
So far away, but she says I remind her of home”
