oh yes, he was on the original list as were a few other suggestions
some good ones folks, thanks (is the list exhausted at this point?)
btw, I was really looking for "proper nouns" when I say "names"
I guess Lord and God are...I don't think bossman or gypsy are
Mama = borderline...I didn't realize Glory and Lavender were characters
Oh Linda - when I say "GL penned" I meant that he wrote them
otherwise we could add Patsy Cline, Wilf Carter, Diamond Joe, etc
char, what tune is Davy Jones from?
(rm, looks like this thread won't be visiting his locker, eh  )

TRIANGLE -
Oh the best of all things is the first day of spring
When when the water runs heavy and fast
The mermaids have all gone to Davy Jones' Ball
And it seems their first trip was their last

there are a few grey area ones but song lyrics as per Wayne's lightfoot.ca were used as the data source for final ruling...names/proper nouns (Capitalized in the lyrics) were accepted
some examples:
in> Boss Man, Morning Glory, Uncle Toad
out> gypsy, big blue, watchman
Edmund Fitzgerald and Marie Christine are boats rather than 'named characters' found in song lyrics, but since they are song titles I've accepted them (unless the democratic corfidian society votes to oust them)
also, Abraham was given consideration from the 'plains of Abraham' but that is better suited to Waynes already published "Lightfoot Geography" list
for consistency, I also revised some names to their full form (Sweet Guinevere, Daylight Katy, etc) but left Allison as is...all debatable
Allison
Ann
Annabel
Athabasca Lady+
Betty
Betty Mae+
Bill Skinner
Bill+
Billy+
Blackberry John
Boss Man
Cotton Jenny
Daisy Doo+
Davy Jones
Daylight Katy
Dick
Dolly+
Don Quixote
Dream Street Rose
Edmund Fitzgerald
Ernie
Flo+
God
Gretzky+
Jack+
Jane
Jenny Lind
Jesse Jo
Jesus
Jim
John
John Wayne
Joneses
Lavender
Linda
Long John Silver
Lord
Maid Marion
Marie Christine
Mary
Mary Jo
Maryann
Miguel
Miss Marianne+
Morning Glory
Mr. Barnum
Mr. Hoot and Holler
Mr. Moon
Mr. Rock of Ages
Nitro Joe+
Old Dan
Pony Man
Robin Hood
Rosanna
Rosey+
Sally
Sweet Guinevere
Tom
Uncle Toad
I also noted with a '+' sign, any of the latest additions which were, in desperation, pulled from the Unreleased and Warner Demos catalog...so we are a count of 58!
thanks for the most recent, great adds:
Ernie and Jim! (the latter, a glaring oversight)

Re: Name references in GL penned tunes - please add
What about a parenthetically-referenced Name in the SONG Title, as in :
on the LP, anyway,
Your Love's Return (Tribute to Stephen Foster) - by memory
I realize this is not mainstream at all what you had in mind, but.. ?
I simply want to participate when I see a compadre open shop in a new thread
