Names from Songs??

I need some help with names for DC4.
Currently we don't know the sex, so boys and girls names appreciated.
I currently have Daisy, Oliver and Matilda, who all have their names within songs... So thought it would be nice to find a name for number 4 that is also in a song, but I'm stumped!!

Help please

My DD's name is La Luna - from a song. Although that is not where my husband got the name from.

Are these the sort of names you're after?

Trying to think of ones that 'match' Daisy, Oliver and Matilda. But could well be barking up the wrong tree.

To be honest I chosee my DD;s name from a Beatles song. Eleanor Rigby was playing on the radio and I decided I liked it.

I prefer names that are not so popular, but not completely wacky (prob no help... lol)

A couple of names we were thinking of (not linked to songs as far as I know) are:

Girls:
Tabitha
Beatrice

Boys:
Dexter
Benedict

Like a lot of Shakespearean names.. Just need to persuade the oh!

I didn't realise Cordelia was in a song... Excellent! That's definitely on the list

Not sure any of the others grab me just yet.
Quite like Delilah, not sure though
