I’m one of those [name]Indie[/name]-rock girls who sports her fair share of [name]Norah[/name] [name]Jones[/name], musicals and 80’s pop. If you saw me in a mall you would think, well, not top forties, but you would never guess the contents of my ipod. My computer just gave me a swift uppercut and deleted all my playlists; while I was re-creating I saw some note-worthy names! Would you name your daughter Blondie or your son ([name]Katy[/name]) [name]Perry[/name]?
Oooh, fun! Here are some from my music collection. Some I like, and some I just think could be interesting.
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Apple[/name] (We actually are naming our daughter, who is due in [name]October[/name], [name]Fiona[/name]!)

I’m still rooting for a little [name]Cambria[/name] for you as well, [name]Whitney[/name];I think [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Snow[/name] would be enchanting as well!
You are such a sweetheart, [name]Bella[/name]! Thank you I really, really am hoping for a little [name]Cambria[/name] myself. And you are right, [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is utterly gorgeous! That might just have to go onto our list!
Wow, I just had to post because [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Snow[/name] gave me goosebumps! So pretty! I don’t think I’ve heard [name]Cambria[/name] as a name before, but I’m really liking it. Good nn options too, of [name]Cam[/name] and [name]Bree[/name]/[name]Bria[/name]. Aaanyway, back to the point, I have so much random music on my iPod; I’ll just go through and list some that jump out. Fun topic!

[name]Twyla[/name] ([name]Paris[/name])
I’m definitely an indie-rock girl aswell! We have a lot of the same favourite artists!
[name]Rosie[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] is actually who made me love the name [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Rosa[/name] with the potential cutesy nickname of [name]Rosie[/name]!
I also am a fan of [name]Norah[/name] [name]Jones[/name], and [name]Nora[/name] is my #1 name of all time.
([name]Anya[/name] [name]Marina[/name] is another one of my favourites btw)
Many of my favourite names are actually inspired by The Beatles!
Such as:
[name]Lennon[/name]
[name]Elinor[/name] ([name]Elinor[/name] [name]Rigby[/name])
[name]Harrison[/name] (as in [name]George[/name])
[name]Lucy[/name] (in the sky…)
[name]Jude[/name]
I used to love the name [name]Allison[/name] because of [name]Elvis[/name] Costello’s song.
[name]Music[/name] is a huge part of my life and so are names, so the two seem to over lap a lot!
I love [name]Lillias[/name]! That is a fab name, one which I’ve never heard before! I’ve always loved [name]Emmylou[/name] and [name]Ingrid[/name], I don’t know how I missed them on my own list! [name]Don[/name]'t you love how Miss Didby spells and says her name? I do! Other name favs- [name]Eden[/name], [name]Talitha[/name], and [name]Rosemary[/name]! Great taste in music and names!
I’ll star the one’s I’d consider using. (* next to a name does not mean full name, just name that is starred) (oh, and I’m 14, so I have alot of new, popular music, mixed with offbeat stuff, Broadway, and classic rock)

Wow, I have alot of music! Yet not alot of good baby names stemming from it…oh well.
Ooohhh…fun! Combines 2 of my favorite things…music and names! My ipod is packed and completely random! But I’ll just scroll through the first third or so…
Names I would possibly consider:
*([name]Bob[/name]) [name]Marley[/name]
*Linkin ([name]Park[/name])
*[name]Ever[/name](clear or last)
*(Better Than) [name]Ezra[/name]
*([name]Jimi[/name]) [name]Hendrix[/name]…That’s actually my bearded dragon’s name!
*([name]Johnny[/name]) [name]Cash[/name]…and this is my [name]Beta[/name] fish!
Ha Ha, since I was in college and a friend gave me newts named Puffy and Biggie all my pets have had music-related names!
Probably not for me, but I’d love it if someone else did:
*Atreyu
*([name]Ben[/name]) [name]Harper[/name]
*([name]Blue[/name]) [name]October[/name]
*(Bon) [name]Jovi[/name]
*([name]Brandon[/name]) [name]Heath[/name]
*(Breaking) [name]Benjamin[/name]
*[name]Marshall[/name] (Mathers/Eminem)
*[name]Drake[/name]
*(Good) [name]Charlotte[/name]

*([name]Jamie[/name]) Foxx
*[name]Jimmy[/name] (Eat World)

*([name]Pink[/name]) [name]Floyd[/name]
I like:
[name]Katy[/name]
[name]Colbie[/name]
[name]Lilly[/name]
Those are the best ones out of my opinion. I like the spelling of [name]Katy[/name], and I like [name]Colbie[/name] but I like the spelling [name]Cobie[/name] better, even if they arent exactly the same pronunciantion. [name]Lilly[/name] is very pretty, but I like the spellings [name]Lilli[/name] and [name]Lillie[/name] better.
My tastes are by no means extraordinary (I love modern rock more than anything) but there”s some fun names to be had no matter the genre of music, I think!
is that cheating?
I really, really am hoping for a little [name]Cambria[/name] myself. And you are right, [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is utterly gorgeous! That might just have to go onto our list!
