Sorry for my third post in a row. I’d have saved them for one post if I’d realised I could come up with more
Mona
Amanda
Julie
Lucy
Ita
Diane
Henrietta
Annie
Jacqueline
(ok, most of those were courtesy of Div, except the really bad ones).
A different Donna than the one already mentioned.
And a different Delilah. [Edit - oops, someone beat me to this one…]
Surprisingly, the first Mary.
Bound to be controversial, since it’s a hyphenated name, and an odd one at that, but definitely the name of a young woman in the song - Mari-Mac.
From the same band, we have Margarita.
And surely very much in the spirit, if not quite to the letter, of the OP: Barbara Ann. (I actually knew a girl called Barbaran once, one word, so it ought to count.)
Somebody already posted The Doors version of this much covered song (it became pretty much the “Johnny B. Goode” of British punk), but this is the original of Gloria (Them, featuring Van Morrison), and surely this is the most interesting of all the many reworkings.
And I don’t think we have had this Juliet.
Mary Mac which I only include because it’s such a fun song. Especially if you are a merry=Mary=marry person.
Mary Mac’s mother’s making Mary Mac marry me
My mother’s making me marry Mary Mac
Well I’m going to marry Mary for when Mary’s taking care of me
We’ll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac
Seeing your post reminds me that there is actually a song called Gigi, from the musical of the same name (vocal does not start until about two and a half minutes in!).
I was going to contribute “Dawn”, but the actual title is “Dawn (Go Away)”, so it doesn’t quite qualify.
burpo the wonder mutt is a fucking awesome username!
Uh, howabout Angelyne, Jayhawks? (can’t be arsed to post a link)
Yolanda by Pablo Milanés.
