umm yeah I know I have way more girl's names, it seems to me that there are more girl's names in folky songs in general... if you can think of any more songs with boy's names in them that would be great. These are some cozy comforting names for me because they conjure up memories of the endless campfire singalong sessions I used to have when I was really young. Ah, personal nostalgia.

I feel like Johnny's gotta be in there somewhere, but then you'd have Johnny and John Jacob.I know they're not all FROM songs but maybe... Casey Jones? Chester? Guthrie? Foster? Donovan? Cotton? Davy? Ephraim? Horton? Hank? Roger?
Some other considerations for your girls list - Jolene, Dixie, Delta, Bonnie, Malvina, Odetta, Patsy, Barbara. Then there's also Leelo - which means "folk song" :)
Anyway I love Clementine, Susannah, Daisy, Polly and Rosa
