That's NOT a woman's name (Think Kruschev)

However:

Layla - Derek & The Dominos
C'mon Eileen - Dixie's Midnight Runner
Sarah - Jefferson Starship (or whatever they called themselves in the '80s)
Sarah - Fleetwood Mac
Darling Nicki - Prince (before he was a symbol)

Does this count?

A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash

[Edited because Eric Clapton was in too many groups]

My Sharona wasn't a bad tune (I have it on mp3,) but does anyone else here remember Cheech's version of it, from Cheech & Chong's Next Movie?  My boys look at me funny when I start singing it - until they got the movie themselves...
