OK, so actually they're not girls, but song titles. As many as I could think of, anyway. Which you'd probably guessed already. I would have included Layla, Barbara Ann and Billie Jean, but that might have made it (even more) obvious!

There's quite a range of pop music in that list - from some 80s power ballads to tunes by the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The Fab Four certainly had a knack for getting girls' names into song titles - they even covered one called Anna. Good choice, guys, if I do say so myself!

The boys are involved too, although to a lesser extent - remember Jesse, Levon and Kevin Carter? Even Doctor Robert (Beatles again) and A Boy Named Sue get in on the action!

I'm on a roll now - I then started thinking of songs with loads of names in them, but none in the title... how about The Beautiful South's Song For Whoever or Lou Bega's Mambo No. 5? I'm not counting Ella, by the way, just in case anyone was thinking of Rihanna for that category...

Twitter may have its "Music Monday", but I think I'm going to make myself a new "names" playlist today, just because it's Friday and I feel like it. So if you can add to it, let me know! Is your name a song title, or featured in a song? Add it in the comments!
