Long before Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies, queen and king of the prom riding with the car top down and the radio on, names were emerging in song. So while Jude's taking a sad song to make it better, moms and dads can contemplate baby names from soulful tunes. Or perhaps they'll select a name they really like and realize after the fact that there's a cool tune to go along with it.

The number 867-5309 may conjure up memories of dialing Jenny, and thoughts of Bennie may rely on his hanging out with the Jets, but it's all good. Which of these baby names make you want to strike up the band?
