Musical themed name for baby girl??

[Catsandcannedbeans]

I am prepped for some of you to think it’s silly and hate it, but we have given our kids musical themed names.

DD is named after a Fleetwood Mac song, DS is named after the front man of our favourite band, so it’s not super obvious. Sometimes when DD tells people her name people will say “oh does your mummy like Fleetwood Mac then?” but also I look like I like Fleetwood Mac… wanna be Stevie Nicks vibes. No one has mentioned DS’s name, apart from my family and friends.

I did say we could name her after the other Fleetwood Mac song that’s a girls name… but DP said that’s too much Fleetwood Mac. I kind of get him.

So far some contenders are - Layla, Annie (he really likes this because Annie Lenox and he’s Scottish), I really liked Rosemary but my niece told me that song has recently become a tik tok trend and I don’t want people thinking I named my baby after a tik tok trend.

I’m open to any suggestions though, I really thought she was a boy so we slacked on girls names.

Delilah
Mandy
Jolene
Caroline
Myfanwy
Roxanne
Angie
Maggie May
Veronica
Maria

Melissa

From "Could it be Magic?" by Barry Manilow. Much less obvious than "Mandy" and appears in the lovely line "sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime".

Cindy (Incidentally), The Faces
(Dear) Prudence, Siouxsie / Beatles
Christine, Siouxsie
Claudette, Roy Orbison
(Ballad of) Lucy (Jordan), Marianne Faithful
Pearl's (a Singer), Ellie Brooks

Eloise? The Damned

Sounds cool to me 😎

Musical friends of ours have a Juniper, like the Donovan song. Lovely child and song.

This is gorgeous imo! Melody nn Liddy.

I think you would want to avoid Delilah, if linking thematically to the Tom Jones song - it's is a bit stalker / murder-ish.

There's also Hey There Delilah by Plain White Ts

Annie is gorgeous. And I agree, Annie Lennox is a legend.

Otherwise

Patsy (though that may have Ab Fab vibes)
Nina
Dolly

Edited to add agree with pp Cecelia. Cece for short. But that might be too ce ce peniston rather than Simon and Garfunkel.. 👀)

Eloise - ...I had to go onto YouTube and listen to this song
Love the song and the name .

Don't do Annie " Annie, I'm not your daddy. If you had me in your blood, then you wouldn't be so ugly"
Such cruel lyrics

Met a young Gloria recently. Never would have thought of it myself but loved it when I heard it!

Goes beautifully with her cousin Monica Erica Rita Tina Sandra Mary Jessica.
