I was shocked to learn that "A Boy Named Sue" was written by none other than Shel Siverstein. No really, he did!

That was my pick along with Julia and Peggy Sue.

Shel had a way with words, didn't he? Gloria is in a league of its own. But I also voted for Ah! Leah!, Maggie May and Roxanne.

Even though this particular Sue is a boy, I thought I should include it, since the fact that it is definitely a girl's name is the whole point of the song.

Yes Shel was a character.

Great list.. Roxanne, Jolene, Rio.. all classics.

Another good, albeit more obscure, song w/a girl's name.. Sarah (by Ween).
