Boy names that feature in a song that can be sung as a lullaby

I sing [name_f]Emmylou[/name_f] by First Aid [name_u]Kit[/name_u] to my daughter ([name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], nn [name_f]Emmylou[/name_f]) every night.
I like the idea of them each having their own song.
What are some good boy names that would allow for him to have his own song.

a few ideas right off the bat:
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]: Hey [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - beatles
[name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]: [name_f]Joy[/name_f] to the World - three dog night
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]: Dear [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] by [name_f]Madonna[/name_f] or [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]'s girl
[name_u]James[/name_u]: Sweet baby [name_u]James[/name_u] - james taylor

(not looking for only j names, they are just the ones that came to mind

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] ([name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] by [name_m]Fleet[/name_m] Foxes)
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] nn [name_u]Danny[/name_u] ([name_u]Danny[/name_u] Boy)

Those are the only two I can think of off the bat

Hey [name_u]Jude[/name_u] would be so sweet!

[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] could also work with “[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]” by [name_m]Elton[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m].

[name_m]Jack[/name_m] (which could be a name by itself, or a nickname for [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Jackson[/name_m]…) – “[name_f]Do[/name_f] It Again” by Steely [name_m]Dan[/name_m]
[name_m]Johnny[/name_m] – “[name_m]Johnny[/name_m] B. Goode” by [name_m]Chuck[/name_m] [name_u]Berry[/name_u]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] (name by itself, or nickname for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m], etc.) – “[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] Boy” by [name_m]Paul[/name_m] McCartney

thanks yall!

[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] - any [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] Swift song

[name_m]Fox[/name_m] - what does the fox say

[name_m]Clyde[/name_m] - 97 [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and [name_m]Clyde[/name_m]

Adnis - [name_u]Jay[/name_u]-Z

[name_m]Stephen[/name_m] - Hey [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] - [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] Swift

[name_m]Stan[/name_m] - Eminem

I don’t know I tried lmao

I love Hey [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and the name [name_u]Jude[/name_u]!

[name_m]Tom[/name_m]: Space oddity by [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Bowie[/name_m]. Though the end of the song isn’t very happy, but I guess you could end it before that part.
[name_u]James[/name_u]: Sweet baby [name_u]James[/name_u] by [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u].

This is quite tricky - there are plenty of songs with boys’ names in them, but it’s harder to find ones that seem both positive and appropriate to sing to your own child :).

Top picks for lullabies:
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]: ‘[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and Me’, [name_u]Joan[/name_u] [name_u]Baez[/name_u]
[name_u]Bertie[/name_u]: ‘[name_u]Bertie[/name_u]’, [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_m]Bush[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]: ‘[name_u]Dream[/name_u] [name_m]Angus[/name_m]’, Traditional lullaby ([name_f]Annie[/name_f] [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] does a version, but there are plenty to choose from)
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]: ‘[name_m]Harry[/name_m]’, [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_m]Howe[/name_m]
[name_m]Sean[/name_m]: ‘Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)’, [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Lennon[/name_u] (though the name only occurs once, at the end)
[name_m]Ziggy[/name_m]: ‘[name_m]Born[/name_m] to be Lively’, [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m] [name_u]Marley[/name_u]. I saw you’re considering [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m] as a nn. [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Bowie[/name_m]'s ‘[name_m]Ziggy[/name_m] Stardust’ is more obvious (and a great song), but ‘[name_m]Born[/name_m] to Be Lively’ is also quite cool and possibly more suited (lyrically & narrative-wise) to a young child . Lyrics include “So when you see [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m] doing his thing /That’s why he was born”. ‘[name_m]Rocket[/name_m]’ by Def Leppard is another option.
[name_m]Ben[/name_m]: ‘[name_m]Ben[/name_m]’, [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m]. I know [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] is a controversial figure, but this song was released when he was a child (which removes most of the potential creepiness) and the lyrics are really quite sweet. I know you mentioned in another thread that you like the name [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and your husband likes [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], which bumped this up into my top picks.

Honourable mentions:
[name_m]John[/name_m]: Lots of songs, but I’m thinking particularly of ‘[name_m]John[/name_m] O’Dreams’ by [name_m]Bill[/name_m] Caddick
[name_m]Tom[/name_m]: ‘The Only Living Boy in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m]’, [name_m]Simon[/name_m] & Garfunkel
[name_u]Bobby[/name_u]: ‘Me and my [name_u]Bobby[/name_u] [name_m]McGee[/name_m]’, [name_f]Janis[/name_f] [name_m]Joplin[/name_m]
[name_u]Sam[/name_u]: ‘Telegram [name_u]Sam[/name_u]’, T-[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]: ‘[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]’, [name_m]Barclay[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] Harvest
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]: ‘Shine on [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] Bloom’, [name_m]Allan[/name_m] [name_f]Sharman[/name_f] - I saw that you’re fond of the name [name_m]Harvey[/name_m]. This song is quite fun, though it’s a comic one and not as sweet/loving as some of the others I’ve mentioned. It might also feel uncomfortable to sing if you’re not Jewish.
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]: There are sooooo many songs for this one - the tricky part is that many of them are religious ([name_m]Christian[/name_m]) songs, which might or might not be a problem for you. If you don’t mind the religious element, there are versions of ‘Children, Go Where I Send Thee’ by some rather cool artists, including [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m], [name_m]Jefferson[/name_m] Airplane, [name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] and The [name_m]Kingston[/name_m] Trio (a Google search should bring up some more). ‘The World Needs a [name_f]Melody[/name_f]’ is another song in the same vein. Some other options include [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_f]Crimson[/name_f]'s ‘[name_f]Happy[/name_f] Family’ (slightly disturbing, but not really more disturbing than many nursery rhymes/kids songs), or [name_m]Bruce[/name_m] Springsteen’s ‘Eyes on the Prize’. ‘Put on Your Old [name_u]Grey[/name_u] Bonnet’ is another option (sung by [name_m]Jimmy[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u], among others) -it’s a sweet song, but the [name_m]Silas[/name_m] in the song is quite elderly. For a non-[name_m]Christian[/name_m] song, there’s ‘Island of [name_f]Avalon[/name_f]’ by Renaissance, which references ‘[name_m]Silas[/name_m], god of trees’ (presumably a reference to [name_m]Silas[/name_m]'s derivation from [name_m]Silvanus[/name_m])

All the best of luck, and congratulations on your bub-to-be!
