Well in just song titles, I can count 19 girls' names, according to what Wikipedia calls a complete list of Beatles songs. I'm not really sure if some of the ones that I've included should really be counted as a girl's name (e.g. "Lady Madonna"), so here's my list of the 19 songs

Ballad of John and Yoko
Carol
Clarabella
Dear Prudence
Dizzy Miss Lizzy
Eleanor Rigby
Julia
Lady Madonna
Long Tall Sally
Lovely Rita
Lucille
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Maggie Mae
Martha My Dear
Michelle
Penny Lane
Polythene Pam
Sexy Sadie
What's the New Mary Jane

If "Beatles' songs" includes anything they recorded (as seems to be suggested by the response including 'Long Tall Sally'), then Anna is another relevant title. If you take a more strict definition to require that a Beatle wrote the song and that the Beatles recorded it, then several songs on the list should not be there.

If you include lyrics as well, there are more names including 'Mother Mary' ("Let It Be"), 'Molly' ("Obladi, Oblada"), 'Loretta Martin' ("Get Back"), and the girl from "Rocky Raccoon" whose name was McGill, but she called herself Lil, and everyone knew her as Nancy.
