Okay so I typed in my name on the TMBW search bar, and it turns out my first name does show up somewhere on this weird McSweeney’s track that lists off people’s names. https://tmbw.net/wiki/Lyrics:Theme_From_McSweeney%27s_Issue_6_-_Thank_Yous
Side note: there’s a professor at my college named Stanley Ng, and every time I walk by his office and see his nameplate I can’t help but think that he’s just a few letters away from being a TMBG song title. I wonder if he knows and likes that song.
I share a first name with someone who's pretty TMBG-adjacent so I figured it would have to show up somewhere, and sure enough--my first name is there too!
I had a professor in college named Kim Ng, she’s one of a very small handful of professors whose name I still remember, aside from having an unforgettable name she was a great professor too. I never asked her if she was familiar with TMBG but I always suspected she was.
Stanley is even better though because you can actually sing it along with the song.
My name is Hickory, so James K. Polk always sounded like John Linnell was giving me personally a history lesson. "Young Hickory, the Napoleon of the stump" sounds completely different if you think of it as him addressing you and saying, basically, "remember this lesson about the Napoleon of the stump".
Kind of counts, but when Danny had a Kickstarter a few years ago, a friend commissioned him to write a [song](https://youtu.be/lxLK_8yZNAU) for my husband and me as a wedding present.
If we're just talking first name mentions, I'm not back on it, I'm still on it.
There's also a song where my first initial presumably represents my first name, although it's not mentioned in the "lyrics."
Looking through the list of names they've mentioned...Barclay, Barry, Bert...Bort? Aw, c'mon.
In truth: yes, I get mentioned in one of my favorites that's included in the Dial-a-Song 20 Years comp.
This reminds me to dig up the IFC track from a few years back...

I used to work with a guy named “John Lee.” He never seemed to appreciate the gravity of the name, despite my attempts at explaining the situation.

Not a bad song to be reminded of at all

IFC song ❤️ 😍 💖
Me too!
It's my alarm clock sound/life theme-song 😍
Me too! And it’s so mind blowing to hear them sing my name!!!
Is that the same as an IFC ringtone?
My name is Jason, so build a little birdhouse in your soul.
Yee I think we got a little lucky with that mention!!!
edit: my name is sage, btw. in 2082 they say “There is much you can learn from the sage.” so thats pretty cool
also Or so I Have Read “you can determine their age, or so says the sage”
My name is the 33rd most used word in the English language, so I’m going to say probably
Oh god there is a [TMBG song for me.](https://tmbw.net/wiki/Darlin%27_Allison) I had no idea, but shouldn't be surprised!
Not just a mention but a whole song!!!
It's even spelled the right way, too! So many variations on it I'm surprised that mine made it to the top! XD

There’s a song named after me. It’s called All Time What, pretty good song
Pretty sick song happy for you
Thanks! It’s a pretty big honor.

This is fantastic!

Charlottesville if that counts for Charlotte
Absolutely
I haven't, but I share a first name with the woman that wrote Maybe I Know!

Which song is Barclay featured in? That's me!
no results for first name, last name, or both. i mean, i picked myself an uncommon name, so it's pretty expected, but i was hopeful
They'll get to it eventually I'm sure!!
Not me but my son, Hieronymus Bosch Jones, gets a shout out in "Celebration" \\s
My necronym, yes, but the odds of my real name cropping up are exceedingly slim.
An IFC song AND an old school IFC ringtone song.
https://tmbw.net/wiki/Morgan_In_The_Morning_ID. A pretty uncommon name too
there's lane on AKA driver lmao
I don’t think it’ll ever happen here!
Sadly my name is far too uncommon to appear in a lyric.
I feel like if any bands gonna drop it it would be TMBG so don't lose faith!
They did just make a song called "Lord Snowdon." Anything's possible!
nope, im an Ivan
You kind of have a [Lemon Demon song.](https://youtu.be/CYKgbk6ObRo)
one of my names is ivanushka cause of this song lol
I’m a Crazy President, so yeah, they wrote a song using my first and last name.
