I can’t really think of many atm but:

Mary Jane — Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Delilah — Plain White T’s
Dani — Red Hot Chili Peppers
Snow — Red Hot Chili Peppers
Roxanne — Arizona Zervas

“Mary Jane’s Last Dance” is my favorite song of all time and it’s a potential baby name I think my s/o would approve of

There are more but that’s all I can think of right now. There are also some songs that I would love to name my child after where there aren’t really names to pick out of it but moreso a feeling I’d want to capture… (for instance, 100 Years by [name_m]Five[/name_m] for Fighting)
