Answer: Julia

All the leading women in John Lennon's too-short life: "Julia", written for his mother, is from the Beatles' "White Album" [1968]. John met his first wife, Cynthia, at art college in 1958; they were married in 1962. It doesn't seem that John wrote any love songs to honor Cynthia ['tho it's been rumoured that "Getting Better" was written about his sometimes-abusive treatment of his spouse].

They were divorced in 1969 due to his then-adulterous relationship with Yoko Ono. "Oh, Yoko" is just one of many songs John wrote for his seeming soul-mate. During John and Yoko's seperation, beginning in 1973, May Pong was John's "companion", and even after he and Yoko reconciled in 1975, John was rumoured to continue seeing May until 1980. No known John Lennon songs have been dedicated to, or recorded about, May Pong.
