Just a few more Beatles tracks with girls names in the title.
Wasn't Maggie Mae by Rod Stewart?
And isn't Jude a boys name? Especially since the song tells Jude to "go out and get her" as in make that girl love you? Nothing wrong with homosexuality but I don't think the tone of the song or the lyrics imply that homosexuality was the subject matter.

Bit of trivia for yis: The 'Jude' in the song is actually John Lennon's son Julian. This was confirmed by Paul McCartney, who wrote the lyrics. Prior to that, the popular theory was that it was a song about heroin (let it out and let it in).
'Maggie May' was a Rod Stewart song... 'Maggie Mae' is an old Liverpool folk song that the Beatles recorded a 30-second snippet of.
And the Waterboys are not an Irish folk band. Singer Mike Scott isnt even Irish, he's Scottish.
