I was wondering how many NW tunes were simply entitled with a girl's first name. Seems that there were so many! I'm sure that everyone could come up with at least a few.
"Victoria" - The Fall
"Victoria" - Divinyls
"Christine" - Siouxsie and the Banshees
"Christine" - House of Love
"Veronica" - Elvis Costello
"Julia" - Eurythmics
"Jennifer" - Eurythmics
"Shayla" - Blondie
"Eloise" - The Damned (OK, so it's a cover...but still)
"Zarah" - Nina Hagen

Somewhere I have a cassette I made of all songs with "Jane" in the title. All I can remember now is "Understanding Jane," "Jane Says," "Sweet Jane" and "Jane's Getting Serious"
