Jenny Wren and Cotton Jenny have already been played. I'm not sure if 867-5309 Jenny will hold to be a legal entry, but it sure will constitute a good member for PoP's 'Numbers in a Song name series'!

Hmmm. The lyrics to 867-5309 Jenny only refer to the person as "Jenny" never "867-5309 Jenny." But the lyrics to Cowboy Dan do consistently refer to the character as "Cowboy Dan" -- in fact, the lyrics I found via Google have it capitalized as Cowboy Dan.

I have no problem with Cowboy Dan, but I'm less comfortable with "867-5309 Jenny."

Just my feelings. We might need an official ruling.
