I did research again. I actually enjoy doing research for these sorts of articles. Ever see if there is a song that has your name in the title? There are probably more out there than one you can imagine. Thus, I have been researching songs with men’s and women’s first names. This list is compiled from a wide variety of sources. And yes, my name does come appear. See if yours does. Warning: It is a very long list!
