I’ve decided to include a criteria for what is added to my main list. As much as I’d LOVE to add everything, this is a huge amount of information! Maybe another list can be created to include some of these…
What is NOT included on this list (sadly):
- Songs with more than 4 names.
- Songs that are primarily (or completely) in a language other than English. (
) - Songs from musicals. (
) - Songs that are clearly about a town or city, that also happens to be considered a name.
- The majority of songs that include a word name. I made a few exceptions, but I can’t include all of them.
- Names that are clearly a surname in the song.
They’re all over the place genre-wise, but personally I like them all a lot.
