there are a few songs called Caroline that are good
Concrete Blonde have one, and the Quo, naturally.

Also see 'Alice' by Tom Waits

Edit: + 'Sally Simpson' and 'Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand' by The Who

I was more going for songs that are just one woman's name
where it is repeated ad nauseum in the song, like in Ruby.

Oh Mandy, you came and something something else, repeat ad infinitum

Granted, Ruby is annoying.
And 'Maria' was just one of those comeback singles that should just never have been released.

(Though I quite like The Kinks' 'Lola')

I think I may actually have been thinking of a different song instead of Lola
I don't know what it is though.

I can picture the idiot face of the singer in the video...

Delilah by Tom Jones
Top song. More so if you listen closely to the lyrics

I used to love Weezer, listened to them a lot at a defining time in my life
now they annoy me.

I find they're a bit like Goldfrapp
Not stylistically, obviously, but in the way that they made two good albums and then just seemed to tail off into repetitive mediocrity.
