What started out as a fun, interesting and challenging task to compile this list has turned out to be quite overwhelming. There seem to be countless entries to this very popular theme. Because of the endless possibilities, I decided not to get too obscure with songs and artists and tried to keep things somewhat mainstream, still covering a very large time frame as well as genre mix. Keeping in mind that a female’s – girl’s – woman’s name must appear somewhere in the title, I present to you the alphabetical list below with over 400 selections. This should help you put together a nice mp3 playlist or make a cd to use at a party, event or for your own personal enjoyment. All listings are verified actual songs and I probably have about 75-80% of these in my own personal music collection. If you can think of any other songs that should be included here (maybe a favorite of yours) please drop me a comment below and I will add them. Enjoy
