Does your name have a song associated with it?

[LemonBars]

Do people sing it to you?

I have a name that has at least two songs associated with it. One less known than the other but I have occasionally had someone sing it to me. As a child I regularly had someone sing more famous song to me but now I, thankfully, rarely have to experience that. It's more irritating than infuriating but I don't understand why people do it.

A Gaelic dirge. Apparently my mother thinks it's beautiful.

@Waxonwaxoff0 - even the surname?

I was named after a song but thankfully few people know the song and I rarely hear it, so that's alright then!

My name is also in Song for Whoever and in Games without Frontiers.

Mine's a Lenny Kravitz song, not many people know it so it doesn't get sung to me but I am thinking of adding it to my list of 'nice songs for my funeral'. Note, as far as I'm aware, I'm not due to die anytime soon, but I think it's good to be prepared.

Yes, a VERY well known song from the 1980s. I was 15 when it was released. And I was bloody tortured with people singing it!

Two songs. I was named after one. Everyone always sings the other one!

@AhBallix do you dance in stilettos in the snow? Did you never understand I had to go? I suppose I should just call you, but I’m too scared to pick up the phone.

@AllTheWhoresOfMalta
I wish! My name is not cool at all. I would have loved that one.

Yes, one song from the 70's and another from the 80's. It's always the older song that gets sung to me. Funnily enough the last time was just a few days ago!

I'm named after a song by mr mister....

Mine does, in the 90s people used to sing the song but now it seems to be mostly forgotten, thank God.

Yes, a very very famous old romantic song which has been released and mixed up many times over the years.

When I was younger drunk blokes used to sing it to me. Now not so much. 🤣

@BikeRunSki just the first name!

@AhBallix damn, I thought I’d guessed it correctly! I was born the year that one came out and went to a ten form entry girls school where there were no less than 30 Kayleighs. Literally a class of Kayleighs. Marillion have a lot to answer for!

A certain song by Smokie.

Yes but it's not well known so never sung to me! I think it's quite catchy so surprised it never took off (I am in the monority for thinking this I think!)

*minority!

My name features in a song by Bruno Mars

ha same as wombats I think. Bloody Roy Chubby Brown.

People used to sing my name to me all the time, telling me they loved me. Not so much now as the song was of an era and not re-released (to my knowledge)

@wombatsandaplant @yousexybugger same as me

Me too PissPot People used to sing to me begging me to give them hope too.

My nana used to sing 30s/40s songs to my two sisters with their names in - although for one sister her name wasn't a name in the song (like if she was called Holly and the song was the Holly and the Ivy). I didnt have a song though, so she used to sing me "The birds in the trees seem to whisper Louise" - because like every second girl in the 70s/80s that is my middle name. I do actually have a song now, from the 80s, but while I know the band I couldn't sing it to you - it's not that popular. I do appear in two children's book titles though!

A song by a band that had Miley Cyrus’ brother in it.

A good friend of mine is named Michelle because her Dad was a huge Beatles fan. I still remember her face when she explained this fact to someone else, and they looked puzzled for a bit and asked which song...
