The most common name in a song's title?
 
Don't know for sure, but I would think that the most used name has gotta be Mary…

That girl's mentioned in a LOT of songs:

Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix
Mary - Sublime
Mary, Mary - RunDMC
Hail Mary - 2Pac
Mary - Tori Amos
Mary - Scissor Sisters
Mary - Sarah McLachlan
Mary Jane's Lat Dance - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Mary Jane - Pete Townshend
Mary's Place - Bruce Springsteen
Cross-eyed Mary - Jethro Tull
The Eyes of Mary - Cracker
Mary's Garden - Human Nature
Mary - Oingo Boingo
Take a Message to Mary - Everly Brothers (written by Dylan?)
Mary Lou - Bob Seger
Crazy Mary - Pearl Jam
Mary-Anne With the Shaky Hands - The Who

She's probably mentioned in even more songs than I've got listed here - But this is all that I could come up with right now.

Anyone else come up with any popular names in song titles?

Crazy Mary is the best on there, I think.
Pearl Jam :thumb:

Well I can't really think of many other names, but Mary does seem to be a popular choice-I can't understand why, it's a dull name.

I'm gonna guess that it's probably the Christian / Bible influence - The Virgin Mary, Mary Magdeleine, etc.

Well this is possibly the most boring game EVER. I have never known a game that actually makes my soul want to escape and run for it's life.

It was never really intended to be a game - But I am glad that I've now caused your soul to exit your body. Anytime I can give perform an exorcism on Jesus, I jump at the opportunity. Now, would you mind holding still while I hammer in these nails, you prick?

Yeah I know I shouldn't post in threads that I don't like. But so many people have posted in my threads saying they don't like them and it seems like everyone finds that okay. So I want to be the guy randomly moaning about threads for no other reason than to be an annoying twat-there's always someone like that on my threads.

Wow I hope this kid doesn't get banned. How fun will it be to have someone called George W Bush on the forums. Especially someone with about as many brain cells as him.
