Subject: RE: why there are so few Sharons in song
From the musical "Finian's Rainbow," in which the female lead character is Sharon McLonergan, there's the song "When I'm Not Near The Girl I Love (I Love The Girl I'm Near," which contains the line (sung by the leprechaun Og):

"for Sharon I'm carin', but Susan I'm choosin' --
I'm faithful to who's 'un is near ... "
