My name is Sally. Strictly speaking it's actually Sally Ann but we won't be pernickety for the purposes of this blog. Sally is not a popular name. I have only ever met one other Sally. Recently while in Glasgow a very nice, extremely drunk Glaswegian in Molly Malones seemed fascinated by my name declaring that he had never ever met a Sally and was convinced that the name only existed in songs. That got me thinking... I know that Sally is quite popular when it comes to music, it is the most used female name. I wonder exactly how many songs there are...
Here are a few. I welcome comments from anyone that can find any others.
- Beautiful Sally - Rick Price

- Be My Girl - The Police (My life is different since Sally came my way) Strictly speaking it's a poem with a bit of chorus but it is my favourite so I had to include it. Sally is a blow up doll!

I always knew I was nothing special, I didn't realise I was quite so common though.
