Post duly edited. Does Lola count as a girl's name? Gather in small groups and discuss among yourselves.

Isn't the song Lola a song with a girl name in the title? I was thinking about this song: ;D

OK, I'm sure I'm missing some but....
Sexy Sadie - The Beatles Rosie Won't you please come home - The Kinks Pictures of Lily - The Who See Emily Play - Pink Floyd Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones
I've restricted each act to one entry, otherwise it could easily have been 5 Kinks or 5 Beatles.
First reserve would be Leonard Cohen - Suzanne
