Question

i was named after singers (stevie nicks from fleetwood mac and chrissie hinde from the pretenders) and i want to name my kids after songs.

i have 3 girls names
1. rhiannon (fleetwood mac song)
2. adia (sarah mclachlan song)
3. etienne (y kant tori reed song)

but the only boys name that i can think of that is a song is jeremy (the pearl jam song)

any suggestions for boys names that are also songs?

and what do you think of the girls names?

Answer 1

For the love of God, give your child a name that won't get him/her beat up in school.

If you want a girls name, go with Leila (the Eric Clapton song). Don't go with Roxanne (The Police song).

There aren't many songs named after boys, unless you want to call him Sue (A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash).

Answer 2

Here are some other song title names for girls and boys:

Layla - Eric Clapton.
Isobel - Björk.
Miranda - Fleetwood Mac.
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls.
Adelaide - Ben Folds Five.
Faith - George Michael.
Natalia - Van Morrison.
Magdalena - A Perfect Circle.
Delilah - Tom Jones.
Anya - Deep Purple.
Taylor - Jack Johnson.
Sharleena - Frank Zappa.
Angel - Aerosmith.
Marcella - Beach Boys.
Lola - The Kinks.

Michael - Franz Ferdinand.
Jonah - Paul Simon.
Isaac - Madonna.
Gabriel - Lamb.
Bertie - Kate Bush.
Adrian - Jewel.
Hunter - Dido.
Frankie - Sister Sledge.
Stan - Eminem.
Andy - Indigo Girls.
Romeo - Donna Summer.
Joey - Bob Dylan.
Daniel - Elton John.
Alfie - Lily Allen.
James - Billy Joel.

Out of the 3 girls names you chose, I liked Rhiannon the best. :-)

Answer 3

I've read this book as well and found it interesting. I think that many people can't envision their child, especially when they are pregnant, as an adult. That's why everyone seems to want to name their child something "cute". My mother wanted to name my siblings and I something "cute". She named all four of us after secondary characters in the Narnia series. I (female) got Rillian Hwin Lastname, the name of a prince and a talking horse. When I was in my early twenties I found that people in my chosen field rarely took me seriously, at least until I proved myself. Seeing this I legally changed my name. Because of this I don't believe that this is a generational phenomenon. There have always been some people who give their children silly names. I too get a little irritated with people who put forth outrageously ridiculous names and then righteously claim "the only opinion about my baby's name that matters is my own!". They are half right. I don't think that people should name their children based on what others (family, friends or people on y!a) think. On the other hand it is the mark of a responsible parent-to-be to take into serious consideration how a name will affect their child. EDIT: In an act of true rebellion from my mother (who I do dearly love) I named my own son William. Oh the horror.

Answer 4

The trouble with names that are in songs is that they'll get sick of hearing them. I had a friend called Jolene who was forever being sung at - "I'm begging you Jolene, don't take my man..."

I adore the name Rhiannon; Adia and Etienne are all right.

The only song I can think of with a boy's name in right now is "Hey Jude" and I'm not sure naming a boy Jude would be wise. Or there's always Ernie, who drove the fastest milk-cart in the west, but really, don't go there.

Answer 5

Another boy song is Zion by Lauryn Hill. That's a cool name.

Rhiannon is a beautiful name but is becoming more common. Adia is nice too.

Answer 6

For a boy's name I like Rider, as in Midnight Rider, the song. Although, I would probably change it to Ryder. I like Etienne for the girl, it's interesting and beautiful at the same time.

Answer 7

*Levon sung by Elton John for a boy.
*Rosalia by Better Than Ezra
*Abraham, Martin, and John sung by Dion. It is about Abe Lincoln, ML King, and JFK.
*Aura Lee is an old traditional song that Elvis redid as Love Me Tender.
*Amy sung by Pure Prairie League
*Amanda sung by Boston
*Don't Cry Joni or Linda on My Mind sung by Conway Twitty
John Jacob Jingleheimber Schmidt! His name is my name, too! Ha! Just kidding.
Etienne is a brand of sneaker, isn't it?
Rhiannon is a great name in my opinion.

That's all I can think of now.

Answer 8

I like Adia for a girl, Adriana by Vince Gill is pretty too, and I found a neat site for you: http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-songs-whose-title-includes-personal-names

There are lists of songs and their artists with personal names. There are hundreds of them - Richard, Ryan, Robert, Jesse, Adam, Zachary, Zoey, Abby, Adeline, Paul, Paulina are just a few of the ones I like from there. You can look up all the title and artists for yourself though so good luck!

Answer 9

I love the name Rhiannon!

Sorry, I don't know any boys' names that are songs.

Answer 10

I do like the girls names, as well as Layla. Boys names are a bit harder... my first thought was Jeremy too. There's also Bobby McGee (by Janis Joplin). But that's all I can think of at the moment.
