Yes, but like Sweet_Lotus, Madonna calls her daughter Lola.

we ended up naming one after me and one after a squirrel.

You named your daughter Rocket J.?
I’m surprised that no one has mentioned why Madonna calls her baby Lola – it’s after Marlene Dietrich’s character Lola Lola in “The Blue Angel”.
Oddly enough, the Kinks song “Lola” still makes sense if you imagine that it is about Dietrich instead of a drag queen.
As I recall, Annie Lennox’s daughter is named Lola. I remember some reporter asking if the child was named for the Kink’s “Lola.” Annie humoured him, laughed, and said something like, “well, partly.”
Of course, I may be getting the story confused.
It’s amazing how many pop-culture Lola’s there are. I usually think of the Kinks song myself, but “Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets” is better catchy fun–if I knew a girl named Lola, word-association would have me singing that until she slapped me.
For the interested, and those with lots of time on their hands,
you can hear the Yoda & Annakin Guy songs on LucasRadio - a streaming web radio that plays music from the movies and games of LucasArts. As I type this the Pirate Song from Curse of Monkey Island is playing.
There doesn’t seem to be a play list, but you don’t usually have to listen long before one or the other comes up.

An interesting point you make, doctorj (and with a further-back nod of the head to Fenris). I fall with other posters into the Kinks genre, but - always looking for an opportunity to expand the mind - I popped open Napster to have a listen to Damn Yankees, with which I’m unfamiliar. Much to my suprise, for every Kinks hit there’s an equal number from the soundtrack of the movie Run Lola Run. Now I can’t stop hearing that flame-haired lovely (how appropriate for the BBQ Pit) screaming “Manni!!” while racing to the pulsing rave-punk beat. “And then…”
