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.

Oh it's not freckles it's Eccles but I always thought people were saying freckles!!

@TheMarzipanDildo

3 that I can think of (plus a 4th that my name is mentioned in) I don’t think any of them are love songs

Same here

I don’t, at least I don’t think I have.

But my sister has, it’s quite an old song, probably not heard by many. she hated it as a child as she hated her name but it’s meant to be exotic. Haha She isn’t called by her “proper” name and never was, not sure why my parents even gave her that name. /:

That's the one I was thinking of. There is also a song by Donovan about the same name.

I'm named after a Beach Boys song. People sing it less and less though. As a child, it was constant.

My eldest niece is named after the Plain White Tees song, which is sung to her more often than the Tom Jones number with the same name in the title and my youngest niece is named for a Beatles classic.

@Twilightstarbright, Mambo number 5 for me too!

That was to @hartof

I was named after a sixties Everley brothers song !

I'm the female version of one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles which first came out when I was a teenager so I used to get that sung at me.
I was delighted when the became popular again recently green shelly fuckers.

Yep, mine is an Eric Clapton song, constantly get it sung to me

@CaptainMyCaptain it's not that name. @Cocolapew and I share a name.

Yep!

Every bloody family wedding I've EVER been to and a few friends ones too...

The Scots will know straight away from these clues!

There's even a sodding dance!

So I don't just get sung at I get danced at!

[quote ShowOfHands]**@CaptainMyCaptain* it's not that name. @Cocolapew* and I share a name.[/quote]
Is it 'Help me......... '?

Only rhymes with "child molester" really so I think I'm safe

@CaptainMyCaptain maybe...

Yes, but no one has ever made the connection. Even when it’s playing. The song is literally my name on repeat, but no one has ever said a single word. Ghasts my flabber.

My name was in a song we sang in assembly as a kid and everyone would turn around and laugh.

Plenty of adults have done it too. Wankers.

Song For Whoever.

Also a shortened version was in a 1970s TV advert- I never got tired of having that sung at me .

@lilmishap

My full name has a very famous old song and involves Alabama and a banjo, sadly I'm known by several abbreviations and have a full compendium of songs that were sung at me, apologies and warnings about the devil were less common but still annoying. Hilarity ensued whenever the class dickhead asked Do you knew me like I knew me followed by I'm still alive (obscure but many schoolboys knew it) Turns out Runaround isn't a car reference and she needed to Wake Up because she was post coital not late for school. Don't get me started on Leonard Cohen, and No it wasn't funny when they sang My name is not Susan.

Pregnant ladies take note certain names provide a wealth of 'fun' teasing opportunities. The novelty wears off quick.

My middle name is connected to a song from the same American genre but about 40 years later.

I am doing a pretty bad job of guessing these!

@Graphista...is it a waving hands sort of dance?

Yeah it's by The Pogues and Shane McGowan is at his most incomprehensible so you can't really make out the words. Christy Moore does a version as well but it's dull!

Yes, an Eric Clapton song. Never had it sung to me.

Oh yes. It's a very old American country/minstrel song. I used to get it all the time as a child, not sure if it's so well known now.

Clues: Alabama, banjo, knee
