Girls names from songs...

OH is a singer/songwriter and is sort of obsessed with song lyrics. He wants to choose a girls name that is from a song, but I'm not loving any of his list so far.
So can anyone give me girls names and the associated song or artist is known?

To start off, his faves are;
Martha (from a Tom Waits song)
Sarah (Thin Lizzie) and
Layla (Eric Clapton)

Any thoughts?

On a bit of a hop hop theme:

Bonita ('...Appelbum...you gotta put me on!' - A Tribe Called Quest - classic)

Maria (West Side Story 'The most beautiful sound I ever heard...') or Carlos Santana ('Maria, Mariaaaaaaaaaaa....') or Sound of Music (' How do you solve a problem like Mariaaaaaa...?') or Blondie ('Maria...You've gotta see her!') etc etc

Nancy (Nancy Spain - Christy Moore - beautiful Irish folk song)

As someone whose name is also the title of a well known song, I beg you, please don't choose any very well known song for inspiration, go with one that isn't so popular.
I've had years of people singing that song to me, and the next person who does so is in danger of being torn from limb to limb. It's incredibly annoying.
