. . . just “Lemmy?” “Lem?” Something else entirely?
Another possibility could be “Stan” or “Stanislaw” (because of Stanisław Lem).
Lemmy of Motörhead’s real name is “Ian Fraser Kilmister,” so our guy could also be named “Ian” or “Kilmister;” Fraser probably not being a great choice for obvious reasons.
(Have I spent way too much time thinking about this? Is it way past time for me to stop drinking coffee and go to bed? You bet! ☕🤪)

His name is Lemmy
His name is Lemmy…Lemmy? Do we say Lemmy like last name and first name? Or just once, like Madonna?
🤔 Is that official?
In my mind palace it is

Hey, how did you get hold of my passphrase?! 😵
It’s more common than I was aware for software mascots to have distinct names from their respective products.
I kind of like “Ian”. Seems suitably humble for a diminutive little rodent.
Another option might be from the band’s own mascot, Snaggletooth.
I actually really like Ian as well.
Snaggletooth is kind of scary-looking 😱🙀, but ok!
From Wikipedia: “It was later suggested by some that the name originated from the phrase “lemmy a quid 'til Friday” because of his alleged habit of borrowing money from people to play slot machines.”
+1 for Ian
I’ll vote for Stanislaw. That guy seems up Lemmys alley.
Our mascot is called Lemmy’s Mascot

Frasier Crane, the sitcom character, is played by Kelsey Grammar who is a Trumpster.

Putting it out there:
“Ralph”
Has a certain ring to it 👍 (Should we vote on this? Can we vote on this? Probably would want to get the ok first from the Admins since it is their baby).
Kilmister is a cool name
Or maybe Lenny the Memmy
