so the next question - can you please identify the sources of the girls in the original version of the song?

Yes some of the lost girls are obvious, Alice, Dorothy, Wendy, Lucy and Susan are easy.

But who are Mandy, Mia, Deborah, Kate, Mary and Kaia?

The bridge is reserved for real people. Mandy, Mia, Deborah, Kate, Mary, and Kaia are friends of mine. Mia is the one who made the original "Wicked Girls" pendant. Deborah is the one who requested I write the song.

I highly recommend checking my website FAQs for really specific questions like this. You'd be surprised how many of them have already been answered. :)

I actually looked at the FAQ (http://seananmcguire.com/musicfaq.php) - which explained who Jane was but I didn't see anything about the other names. But then I might have missed it.
