I've got these so far:

"Carrie" by Europe (Carrie)
"Oh Sherry" by Journey (Sherry)
"Valerie" by Steve Winwood (Valerie)
"Marvin" by The Commodores (Marvin)
"Mambo No 5" by Lou Bega (Monica, Erica, Rita, Tina, Sandra, Mary, Jessica)
"Rumors" by Tiemx Social Club (Michael, Tina, Susan)
"Hit the Road Jack" by Ray Charles (Jack)
"Jack n' Diane" by John Mellencamp (Jack, Diane)
"Oh Donna" by Ritchie Valens (Donna)
"Oh Mickey" by Toni Basil (Mickey)
"Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin (Mack, Macky)
"Aubrey" by Bread (Aubrey)
"Elvira" by Oakridge Boys (Elvira)
"Unsent" by Alanis Morissette (Matthew, Jonathan, Terrance, Marcus, Lou)
"All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow (William, Bill, Billy, Mac, Buddy)
"Sara" by Bob Dylan (Sara)
"Sussudio" by Phil Collins (Sussudio)
"Amy" by Jack Ingram (Amy)
"Daniel" by Elton John (Daniel)
"Billy, Don't Be a Hero" by Paper Lace (Billy)
"Michelle" Beatles (Michelle)
"Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night (Jeremiah)
"Im Henry Viii I Am" by Herman's Hermits (Henry, Willy, Sam)
"I've Got a Crush On You" by Multiple artists (Annabelle, Lillian, Timothy, Tom, Dick, William)
"Ben" by Michael Jackson (Ben)
"Amanda" by Boston (Amanda)
"Mandy" by Barry Manilow (Mandy)
"Lucille" by Little Richard (Lucille)
"Wake Up Little Suzy" by Everly Brothers (Suzy)
"'03 Bonnie and Clyde" by Beyonce (Bonnie, Clyde)
"Timothy" by Buoys (Timothy, Joe)
"Joe" by Cranberries (Joe)
"Johnny B Good" by Chuck Berry (Johnny)

Help me add to this, I know there's tons more. (Not looking for song names with nick names in it like "Mr. Sandman" or band names in it like "Heavy D" Nor am I looking for songs that contain the name "Jesus," please. Doesn't have to be in the title, just people's names in the song somewhere."

Thank you! I'll give best answer in a few days! =]
