There's some goodies here, would add Rosanna (dont know the band)and also Carrie (Joni Mitchell), but also feel I have to add I don't think I adore any songs with women's names!! Will keep thinking though!!

Another vote for Alice by The Sisters of Mercy.

Edie, by The Cult.

@stayathomer the song Rosanna was by Toto.

For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her, by Simon and Garfunkel. Named one of my DDs after it. Beautiful song.
