This thread got me noticing names while I've been browsing Tom Johnson intros, and I realized he really likes pop song names. I'm not very up on pop songs, so I'm sure I didn't recognize some....but I sure did zone in on those 80s songs, LOL.
Call Me Maybe
Dancing in the Dark
Don't Stop Believing
Rumor Has It
Wild Angel
Strut
Strike a Pose (from a song)
Spirit in the Sky
Sharp Dressed Man

Seasons in the Sun
Ray of Light
Heart of Glass
Bright Sunshiny Day
Material Girl
Love Me True
Lost in Love
Land Down Under
I'm on Fire
I Hope You Dance
I Feel Lucky

Glamorous Life

Lots of names having something to do with fashion:
Fall Fashion
Fashion Baby (also song lyric)
Fashion Diva
Super Model
Stylized

Catwalk Queen

And several film names, and names associated with Hollywood:
Film Star

And those are all just one hybridizer! One could go nuts getting OCD with this, LOL! An excellent winter Iris game of sorts though Smiling
