Rock-n-roll names!

[leylas.mommy]

So I had a crazy idea to name all my kids from rock-n-roll songs, wouldn't that be fun?? Then they would each have a song!

My daughter is Leyla (Layla - Eric Clapton) although I did not name her intentionally. But I can't have one child with a song and all the others without!

So, what are some great names from rock n roll songs that you would use as a sibling set?

Layla
Eleanor
Caroline
Maggie May

[mischa]

Ruby (Rolling Stones)
Angie (Rolling Stones)
Lucy (Beatles)
Roxanne (The Police)
Jack (The Who)
Delilah (Tom Jones)

wow what a list! how'd you come up with that? That is exactly what I was looking for thanks!

I just googled it and somebody had answered the question on yahoo answers with a list from some other website

[bcl23]

I love the following (also names of my guitars):
Lucy
Sadie
Ruby

Others:
Georgia
Alabama
Sue
Alice
Delilah

[dancersventure]

I love the song as well as the name Layla!

By the way, to the pp with all of the artists/song titles, the one song is NOT titled 'Visions of Joanna', it is 'Visions of Johanna' (Bob Dylan). I love the song and that name (Johanna) as well, so I just wanted to set that straight (I used to be employed by a woman named Joanna who was not that warm of a person, so to speak, and I do not like the name).

A name song that really touches my heart is called 'Emeline', by Ben Folds. I actually have loved the name for years--way before it got popular--in large part due to this song! He also has a song called 'Gracie' that is heartwarming & so sweet.

Isabella is nice..
Isabella- Dia Frampton!

[kyemsma]

Johanna would be perfect with Leyla!
