Gloria by Laura Brannigan. I always want to dance when I hear it.

I like the other 'Gloria' by Them (Van Morrison) and 'Lydia' by Dean Friedman.

Maggie’s Song - Chris Stapleton.
Yes it’s about a dog, but technically it’s a woman’s name. Absolute tearjerker, can’t listen to it without crying… if you have a dog, don’t say I didn’t warn you!!

Not an uplifting song, or a name that I'd particularly choose to name a child of my own, but my GOODNESS it makes me well up.
