Gitche-Gumee
Joneses
Lee (of an island etc)
Prima Donna (but I'm sure it's heard in a song on Van Morrison's album "A Night in San Francisco")

For the above...

Not sure if Neil Diamond's 'Gitchy Goomy' counts (I've always assumed his is a nonsense lyric?)

Joneses is most definitely incldued in Boz Scaggs' 'Lowdown' ('This runnin' with the Joneses boy just ain't where it's at')

CSNY's 'The Lee Shore' is possibly the same type of lee and/or named for an actual place?

And Chicago mention a prima donna an awful lot in, erm, 'Prima Donna'!
