Sometimes the name you WANT to name your kid has already been tarnished by a song. So you can forget about naming her Roxanne thanks to The Police, or Eleanor Rigby (very upsetting) because of the Beatles. Huffingtonpost.com made a list of women’s names that have been ruined by songs over the years. Some of them you have heard of but there are a bunch that are a little obscure. The list is longer than 23 but that’s all I felt like giving you, so deal with it…

Are you named after any of these ladies? Is there a song with your name in it that isn’t listed?

1.) “Dirty Diana”, Michael Jackson

2.) “Freek-a-Leek“, Petey Pablo . . . Names mentioned in this song are: Shameka, Kesha, Tara, Shonda, Sabrina, Crystal, Deronda, Felicia, Tanesha, Sha’von, Yolanda, Monique, Christina and Teresa.

(–It’s a little hard to tell what all the names are, and there are some conflicting lyrics on various sites . . . but this is the list according to HuffingtonPost.com.)
