Got a song running through your head... Is it your name?

Last week, Neil Diamond let us in on a secret: He’d written the song “Sweet Caroline” for Caroline Kennedy. Probably a relief to tens of thousands of women named Caroline who can now confidently say the hit song was NOT written for them, and please stop calling them “sweet” ‘cause it’s been working their last nerve. Sadly, all those named Roxanne who must endure the relentless quip “You don’t have to turn on the red light,” still must suffer in silence.

Don’t get us wrong, having a popular song with your name in it can be fun. People breaking into "Come on, Eileen" when you walk into the room can create a fun party-like atmosphere.

But alas, some kids in the unique-name-category will never have their own tune. Shiloh, Ptolemy, and Suri (the best she’s going to get is "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top” from Oklahoma) will be sadly left out.

So, before you name your child, take a moment and think: Will Mick whining “Angie,” Simon & Garfunkel blaming Cecilia for breaking their hearts or Janie, constantly being accused of having a gun, eventually get old? Or will they cherish having their name set to music for a lifetime?
