Slowdive - Alison, Avalyn I/II

Dangerous Mystagogue
Elvis Costello also has an Alison.


As do the Pixies... Allison, though this might be named after Mose Allison.

Fennesz has Cecilia.

The Pixies have Cecilia-Ann. [EDIT: In fact, originally by the Surftones]

Yeah, it's Gabriel anyway, i.e. a man's name. Follow up tune (I think there was a plan to do all the archangels) was 'Michael', which, uh, I can assure you is usually a man's name too.
