I tried to avoid repeats and limit myself to [name_m]Bruce[/name_m] Springsteen’s main albums (but there are a lot more names if you look at all of his discography)
Such a fun naming idea! Here are a couple more good ones (trying to avoid repeats)
EmmaRose — Caravan — [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_m]Morrison[/name_m]
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] — More Than a Feeling — [name_m]Boston[/name_m]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] — [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] — The Band
I really loved [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] because of the song ‘hey there [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]” but DH vetoed it because he didn’t people singing “hey there [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]” at her.
I’ve already commented (and this thread has been dead nearly a week) but I just discovered the song Pearl by SOBI and as somebody who adores the name [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], I absolutely love it. It’s such a sweet song and would recommend anybody to go hear it!
