Poll re:songs with your child's name in them

Does your child have a song about them?  My son has "Sweet baby James" by James Taylor

No and probably not likely unless Malia Obama becomes REALLY popular.

I do change up the Brooks and Dunn version of My Maria.

I'm pretty sure there are no songs about Tanner. I can't think of any w/ Emma. Sometimes songs aren't always the best...I grew up w/ "867-5309/Jenny". Listening to the words, Jenny isn't a good thing in it.

Not directly. But the song, Hey Jude was written for Julian Lennon. So close enough. Lol.

Spelled differently, but, "Alyssa lies" by Jason Michael Carrol.

"Miss Alissa" by the Eagles

Bellisimo

No, but I bought him a CD from Learning Express full of songs with his name in them.  Does that count?

My daughter was named after a Donovan Leitch song. I loooove 60s pop music.

The group Jefferson Airplane is my claim to fame;)

There is a song, Kate, by Ben Folds Five. 

DandelionMom

Gracie -Ben Folds

Julia -Beatles

and there are songs with my DD1's name in them but none that are terribly appropriate for a kid.

My older daughter has "Julia" by John Lennon.  As far as I know Emma does not have a song.

~Kat~

Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Nice one, huh?

~Kat~

Also, on Babynames.com you can look up a name and they have a list of songs with that name in it.

The only one I can think of is "Old King Cole" lol

My DD's name is Mary Catherine.  She is pretty convinced Mary Had a Little Lamb was written just for her.

"Lorelei" by Styx.  I don't think I have ever heard it, but I know my friend told me that she heard it on the radio the day after I gave birth to her.  Apparently the song is about how excited the guy is that Lorelei is moving in with him.

Oh how could I not mention "Abigail" by King Diamond. 

 Actually when I was pg with Lor we were between names Lorelei and Abigail.  My DH is a huge King Diamond fan (a heavy metal singer from band MercyfulFate) and loved the idea of Abigail b/c of this song.  We went back and forth and when Lor was born felt she was a Lorelei.   When we had Abby we were again between names and our L&D nurse was Abigail and when we saw her felt Abigail fit.  Supposedly SIL's BF heard "Abigail" played the next day on the radio - hmmm, sounds familar huh?  Most likely not since King Diamond is rarely heard on the radio, unless you have XM/Sirius (which her BF does not have).

I don't think so for Nathan or Kaitlyn.  But

"Alison" by Elvis Costello (spelled a bit different)
