I'll try to stick to the "name only" method - too many of them if you don't. Sorry if I repeat any I may have missed above:
Isobel -- Dido (different song than the Bjork one of the same name)
Rhiannon -- Fleetwood Mac (it's not "Rhianna" as somebody above posted)
Delilah -- Cranberries
Sandy -- Grease soundtrack
Maxine -- Donald Fagen
Rosie -- Jackson Browne
Ruby Ann -- Marty Robbins
Jenny Rebecca -- Olivia Newton-John
Bianca -- (a Cole Porter song)
Jean -- (by many)
Guinevere -- Crosby, Stills, and Nash

"Faith" is good to go.

OP here!
The thing is, if it was just listing song titles that contained a girl's name, then anyone who gave it some thought would be able to pretty quickly come up with lots and lots of titles.
I figured, making it just titles that are the name would make it a bit more challenging.
Of course, this is not a contest, so there can't be any rules about what the song has to be about, but I would think that if you want there to be any integrity about your listings, you wouldn't go with a song titled "Summer" that is about the season, or a song titled "Charity" that is about the importance of generosity, just because those two words also happen to be girls' names.

Whatever happened to Kadison anyway? He showed quite a bit of promise then disappeared off the face of the earth.

jessie's girl- rick springfield
I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that
So, I'm thinking that Jessie is a guy.

I don't know what made me think of this song all of a sudden, but I just remembered a song called "Nicole" by Point Blank.
