I worked with a guy named Jude last year. When I greet someone in the office, I do tend to use, “Hey, [name]” – I found myself actively trying to not do that with Jude, as I was sure he’d heard it a million times.
My name is Jessica and the Allman Brothers song “Jessica” is awesome - and lyric-less!
For some reason, though, there have been plenty of people throughout my life that think my name is the same as the person being sung about in “Jessie’s Girl.” It’s a song about a guy named Jessie and his girlfriend, not a girl name Jessie.
So it’s not only annoying when people (guys) try singing “Jessie’s Girl” to me, it’s just wrong!
I used to work with a Jolene. Not breaking into song when she called was quite the exercise in self-control, at which I did not always succeed.
Now I’m dying of curiosity.
My first name is Joe. Throughout all of high school and college, no less than once a day I heard someone say “Hey, Joe — where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?” and then laugh like it was the first time anybody ever thought of saying that. :smack:
I am Daniel…NOT your brother…or (anymore) a boy…Or Dan Tucker…or Daniel Boone…though at times I can be nasty.
I knew a girl named Rhonda in junior high. She hated that song too.
I once knew a girl named Maggie who told me she hated the song Maggie May “with a passion” as a result of having had selected lyrics quoted to her ad nauseam.
My mother told me I was almost named “Bruce”. I would have killed her first, then myself.
Knew a very buxom young woman named Denise. One day when she walked into the office, I and two other security guys at the embassy lined up and sang this. She didn’t seem pleased.
I worked with a woman named Roxanne, who once said, “After all these years they make a song using my name and she’s a prostitute?”
I’m 6’4", and my first name is John.
I have probably heard classmates, neighbors and others sing Jimmy Dean’s “Big Bad John” a few trillion times.
Luckily, it never, ever, ever gets old.
Not a song, but… when I was born, my older brother was really into Winnie the Pooh. So my parents came very close to naming me Christopher. Middle name Robin.
I have a cousin named Richard, and my father sang that song to him every damn time they met.
Guess she never heard the musical “Cyrano de Bergerac”.
Dang I never knew that!
And yes those were the three songs I was thinking of. 
The 1985 Marillion song Kayleigh was semi-autobiographical by the lead singer Fish and one of his former girlfriends was indeed named Kayleigh. Since the name was fairly rare it led to recognition for her which she reportedly found unwelcome.
I once met a girl who was called Kayleigh and half joking (she was born at least 15 years after the song) I asked if she knew of the song. She said she did and indeed was actually named after it. I asked her if she liked the song and she shrugged (teenager) but seemed to think it was OK. A nice enough song from a long forgotten (in her estimation) band.
I felt so old. When the song was released I was older than she was then…

There may be a delta and flower sung about a mythical person with my real name. I have heard that song a lot.
Also “Oh Donna”, which isn’t my name, but people seem to think it’s close enough.
But, but, the pipes. The pipes are calling. From glen to glen. And down the mountainside.
People around here pronounce “Dawn” as “Don”. It’s very confusing!
I met an Eleanor Rigby. I asked her about the song, but I’m sure that happens many times a day. She thought it was okay. She was quite elderly, and not named for the song – which is probably good under the circumstances.
Does anybody pronounce them differently?
Yes, in the Midwest, “Don” has a vowel sound that is a little flatter than “Dawn” – like a tad closer to a short “a”.
