Parents naming their children after the Beatles
-
I work at a puppetry center and there was a family who came in that are huge Beatle fans. They named their daughters Lennon, and McCartney.
There was another family that visited about a year ago (also Beatle fans) and they had four children: Jude, Sullivan, Lennon and Eleanor.
Saw online that other parents are naming their children Harrison, George, Starr, Abbey, Martha and Apple.
Just think it's interesting that these names seem to be popular!

I can’t imagine someone named Apple. It’s just strange. I think cruel even. -
@littlewillow Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin (Coldplay) named their daughter Apple.

@NJR poor thing. Just imagine at the school any mockery he or she may have received. Hi Apple, are you out of juice?
If people and children were kind and understanding to each other. But that's not always the case. Trust my experience. -
I would bet that when the parents of Lennon and McCartney call their daughters....they do so in that exact order!!
"Lennon, McCartney, time to come in now!" We can't have them call McCartney first and then ask her something like...."Where is Lennon?" !!!!!

I have been naming my dogs Beatles/Macca names for quite awhile. I've had a Sadie, Lucy & now Willy for Silly Willy & with the Philly band.

There are so many more names to choose from: Martha, Vera, Chuck, Dave, Rose, Valerie, Rita, Anna, Rocky, Dan, Lil, Magill, and of course Nancy!

Hopefully my animals will last a long while & I won't need that many names. And I'd rather switch to Paul songs names.

You are up on Paul’s solo songs a lot more than me! I could probably rattle off every Beatles song though. What Paul songs have names in them? I can think of one: Jenny Wren. And who is the famous musician he mentions in a song from the ‘70s?
-
@oobu24 I have a Sadie, Winston and HelenWheels!
-
@njr Willy is from Rockshow!
-
@paulfan11 You have 3 dogs now?

I know. I was asking what other names are in Paul solo songs. And what musician he mentions in one song.

He mentions Jimmy Paige in Rockshow. I don't know how many names are available in his songs...too busy to sit & think about it.

@oobu24 HelenWheels is a cat.

Jimmy Paige - that was it! I just thought you might come up with one or two off the top of your head. Wasn’t a research assignment!

I named my youngest son McCartney. He's 4 now and loves The Beatles and the work of his namesake. I get to take him to see Paul in Newcastle in 2 weeks time and cannot wait!
