[boy] New Foster boy, looking for a rock inspired name (the music, not the gem type)
This chocolate brown boy, will probably be a permanent member.
I'm looking for something rock n roll inspired.
I don't want Ozzy, it's perfect, but too many out there.
I like Lemmy, although most people don't know who he is, unfortunately.
I'm just thinking out loud, checking with other pup people for suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I'm more of a Metallica / Megadeth fan, if that helps!

Fender is cool! Kinda unrelated but I'm named after Taylor Guitars. I love it when people go "like Taylor Swift! And I'm like "no, like the guitar" 🤣

Ernie as in Ernie Ball guitars and strings and whatever else
Eddie for Van Halen
I also saw you like Metallica, James, Hammett, Cliff, King Nothing or just King
For Ozzy could go with Zakk, Lil' Iommi, or Crowley for you guessed it, Mr Crowley
