Songs with Girl's Names in the Title

[elise92]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] All! I had a thought this morning - I asked myself what the most common girl’s name used in song titles. I’m not sure if this is something anybody else wonders, or if this is something only I don’t know the answer toBeing the kind of person I am, I went and found a list of songs here: http://www.songfacts.com/category-songs_with_girls’_names_in_the_title.php

I crunched the numbers, used a pivot table, sorted the data, and based on the list of songs in the website above, I discovered that the Top 10 Girls Names that appear most often in song titles are as follows:

[name_f]Mary[/name_f] (31 songs)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] (16 songs)
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] (12 songs)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] (10 songs)
[name_f]Annie[/name_f] (10 songs)
[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] (10 songs)
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] (8 songs)
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (7 songs)
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] (7 songs)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] (7 songs)

If anyone’s interested in the full list of names, or if you’d like to know where your favorite name is on the list, let me know and I’ll be happy to provide them!

I’ll probably do a list for Boy’s Names as well, but that’s for another day.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] this! I’d love to see the full list. Is it too long for a PM?

[luneth]

Niiicce! Would be great if you’re​willing to make a blog post out of this, but if not, can you send me the full list? I love this kind of thing.

This is so interesting! I’d love a PM of the full list as well

That’s so interesting! I don’t know that I need the full list (probably wouldn’t have time to go through it all right now?), but I am curious how many times [name_f]Becky[/name_f] or [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] was mentioned? I feel like I’ve heard SO many songs with a [name_f]Becky[/name_f] mentioned, so I figured it’d be up there, but it doesn’t look like it’s in the top 10, anyhow.

[SummerSarah]

Did you combine different spellings of the same name?
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]/[name_f]Sara[/name_f] appears 11 times.
I was surprised to see [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] mentioned so often, it was never a very popular name, unlike others in your top 10. Interesting!

Sorry for the delay everyone! Let’s see if I can get the whole list on here (in alphabetical order)
