Also-are we counting two-word names? Because then we need

Quite so. To keep things more or less apples and apples, I think we should stick with compositions that are pretty much stand-alone songs or instrumentals that would play in less than 10 minutes (or so). Arias might bridge the gap, as would overtures and chamber pieces. The thing is, none of them are coming to mind that have the one word female name as a title. There have to be some, but I just haven’t thought of one yet.
As a case in point to compare with, let’s say something along the lines of Anitra’s Dance (with the appropriate one-word title) might be one to aim for.
If we don’t stick with one-word titles we will open the flood gates and this thread will balloon into a monster! 
I believe we’re doing fine with the one-word batch.
It might be fun to start another thread with some other criteria, though. Have at!

Warning to Dopers: I was accessing SDMB on my iPhone and “(867-5309)” came up with a blue underline. Thinking it was a link, I touched it and came THIS close to calling Who-knows-who. BEVARE!

That’s Latin for “glory”, not a woman’s name.
Here’s Iggy Pop with another “Candy”
“Agatha” by Pond
“Angeline” by PJ Harvey
Lucille (Little Richard)
Lucille (Frank Zappa)
Lucille (B.B. King. It’s a one-word female name, even if the song is about a guitar.)
Here’s a few names already mentioned, but each is a different song from the one linked earlier:
Julia – Conway Twitty
Jezebel – Herman’s Hermits (actually Frankie Lane did it first, but I’ve always liked HH’s version)
Fancy – The Kinks (though given Ray Davies’ predilection, there’s some debate as to whether this is a girl or not!)
Lorelei – Marty Robbins
…and a new one:
Karen –The Rip Chords
Dominique, per Wikipedia, whose list of Namesakes Real includes more than females.
With the subject “Music with one-word female name as its title”, there are…thousands? of qualifiers from many eras and languages. Nine fine…

[li]Franz Schubert wrote Rosamunde in 1824, here in a 35:56 version.[/li][li]Marianne & Michael do a more contemporary version (one of thousands) of Rosamunde. (Please skip over if you are susceptible to earworms.)[/li][li]Among more contemporary females I like Jamie by Eddie Holland.[/li][li]Leo Kottke may also have heard Louise by Maurice Chevalier.[/li][li]Rosetta by Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson, then Art Tatum. My favorite Teddy Wilson version of Rosetta is this, from 1941.[/li][li]Maggie by Mungo Jerry. Oh, Maggie, come along and spend some time…with me.[/li][li]Micaela, you’re welcome too. Luis Carlos Meyer sings the song that he wrote about “the woman that I love the most”. (Caution: another possible earworm.)[/li][li]Dinah (is there anyone finer) found Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti.

Ninja’d by DChord. I was just about to post Kool & the Gang’s “Joanna” but took the time to read through the thread first.
Here’s another Joanna, by Cris Williamson. The link is to a cover by Meg Christian 'cos nobody has uploaded Cris’s original.
Then there’s the first “Angela”. For Angela Davis.
And the first “Sara” was for Sara Dylan. Can’t post a link because YouTube isn’t allowed to have any Dylan originals.
