I love this name too.

DD is Ruby. We didn't name her after the Stones Ruby Tuesday, but people always call her that because of the song. I did think it would have been pretty cool if she'd been born on a Tuesday, but alas, she was born on a Friday.

Lucy: Beatles

 

Hate: 

Angus: Annie Lennox (reminds me of beef)

EllaJax

I love love love Emmy Lou from George Strait's song, Check Yes or No. My husband...who is not from the South...hated it because he said it was too country. Alas we settled on Ella Rae.

I have loved the name Zoe Jane from the Staind song since the first time I heard it.

Allycat11

Jude- The Beatles  Sadly it does not work well with my last name

Cambria- Coheed and Cambria   I can not decide if this is more a guilty pleasure name, or one I would use.  DH is in love with this name even though he does not care for the band

Gracie- Ben Folds  I love the nn Gracie, and love this song but I would never use the name Grace.  

Mariah- Mariah Carey  I love the name but would never use it because it is such a strong association for so many people.

Love Caroline since "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond is a favorite song of mine.

I like the name Jeordie. It is the name of the bassist from my favorite band. Unfortunately I do not feel that I am able to use it due to the conflict between the singer, the bassist mentioned, and the original bassist (who is deceased).
