I have to say, I really appreciated this [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=428431&highlight=Jenny) I found a lot of really great stuff in there, most of it new to me. I wanted to make a CD for a friend and I realized I was well on the way to making a CD mix with all girl names for song titles! Jenny - Mountain Goats Jezebel - Iron and Wine O Valencia - The Decemberists Lily 2 - Matt Pond PA Ramona - Guster Hey There Delilah - Plain White Tees String Bean Jean - Belle & Sebastian Any other suggestions? Big thanks to everyone in the other thread, I am really liking the recommended songs! ---

Lily - Kate Bush Joanni - Kate Bush Btw, this has nothing to do with the OP, but here’s a song you might like, for your username: [Glory](http://www.wretchawry.com/happy/rarities/HappyRhodes_Glory(RadioMix).mp3) (the link is to an authorized mp3 download, though it can also be heard in streaming audio in the player [on this page](http://www.wretchawry.com/happy/samples)) ---

I went to high school with a girl named Valencia and I always thought the girl in the song was named Valencia - I’m counting it! ---

In June, I did fill-in for the DJ hosting a singer-songwriter show on a local radio station. When I fill in for him, I do theme shows. It’s a two-hour slot with only live ad-lib commercials for the show sponsors. This last one, “Ladies of Song,” was entirely composed of songs with girl’s names in the title. The rule is on the show, that whoever sings the song must have written it - or at least a member of the group, when a group is used. So many of these won’t be quite as familiar, but the show went over well. Here’s the playlist: 1. Hey Paula - Paul & Paula (the guy in the group really did write the song) 2. Maria - Louise Taylor 3. Bonnie & Avery - Eric Taylor (no relation to Louise) 4. When Rita Leaves - Delbert McClinton 5. To Ramona - Bob Dylan 6. Angelina - Michael Jerling 7. Jolene - Janis Ian (NOT the Dolly Parton song of the same name) 8. Oh, Carrie - Dwight Twilley 9. Nellie Kane - Hot Rize 10. Betty Was Black - Todd Snider 11. Betty’s Being Bad - Marshall Chapman (wrote the song for Sawyer Brown) but did a nice live version herself) 12. Pamela Brown - Tom T. Hall 13. Donna Rice - The Diptones (an a capella group - this one sung to the tune of Barbara Ann) 14. Annabelle - Kate Power and Steve Einhorn 15. Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles 16. Josephine Baker - Al Stewart 17. Polk Salad Annie - Tony joe White 18. Elenore - The Turtles 19. Julia - Chris Rea 20. Julie - Michael Shellie 21. Mrs. Whitney - Don Conoscenti 22. Nadine - Chuck Berry 23. Peg - Steely Dan 24. Rita Ballou - Guy Clark 25. Sweet Melinda - Peter Rowan 26. Jessica - The Allman Brothers Backup songs I didn’t have time to play: 1. Sweet Mary - The Byrds 2. Sweet Suzanne - Buzzin’ Cousins 3. Valerie - Jerry Garcia 4. Valerie - Quarterflash (not the same as Garcia’s) 5. Debbie’s Song - Rebecca Scott (Instrumental) Other songs that didn’t meet the songwriter test or that I left out on purpose 1. Amphetamine Annie - Canned Heat 2. Angel & Delilah - Eliza Kilkyson 3. Are You Sleepin’, Maggie? - Aopife Clancy 4. Bonnie Mae - Solas 5. Daisy Simone - Rockapella 6. Emma Jean - Teh Amazing Rhythm Aces 7. Josephine - Paul Kamm & Eleanore MacDonald 8. Lay Down, Sally - Eric Clapton 9. Lily, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts 10. Lisa, I Love You - Rockapella 11. Miss Fritchie - Eddie from Ohio 12. Satisfy Suzi - Lonnie Mack 13. Sweet Mary - Big Brother and the Holding Company 14. Thoughts About Roxanne - John Mayall Hope that helps. A fair amount of obscure stuff there, but well worth looking up. Hometownboy ---

Note that 2 of those songs are Ben Folds solo stuff, not Ben Folds Five. I think one is located under B and the other under F 🙂 I remembered some more songs, including more B&S and Ben Folds - they like to sing songs about people! B&S: Judy and the Dream of Horses Consuelo (kind of doesn’t count, as it’s an instrumental named for a character in a movie for which they did a soundtrack) Judy is a Dickslap (also an instrumental) Ben Folds: Give Judy My Notice Carrying Cathy Annie Waits Losing Lisa Ben Folds Five: Jane Alice Childress Emaline Barenaked Ladies: Jane Maybe Katie Enid ---

A couple others that don’t seem to be mentioned. (Mostly “novelty” records, though.) Laura, by Spike Jones and His City Slickers\* Lydia, the Tattooed Lady, specifically the version by Kermit the Frog\* Chloe, by Spike Jones and His City Slickers\* Wake Up, Little Suzie Jenny Brown, by The Smothers Brothers \*‘straight’ versions of these songs do exist, but I really only know them because of the versions I’d mentioned. ---

Leonard Cohen- Suzanne I’m surprised **fishbicycle** remembered “So Long, Marianne” but forgot this one. It’s from the same album, and it’s one of his better-known ones. Great song. Others: The Smiths- Sheila Take A Bow Nick Lowe- Maureen The Pogues- Sally Maclennane Tom Waits- Georgia Lee I’ll look for more, but right now I need to get some sleep. ---
