Also Sonny is of the same ilk but maybe better than Ziggy or Hendrix

Aside from most being famous peoples surnames, stage names or being just general nicknames, they all sound a bit try hard tbh.
Try going for a job interview and introducing yourself as one of those names and see how you feel, or borrow a child and then shout one of those names across the park and see the looks you get, or even go to Starbucks and you & DH get one of those names written on your cup and shouted out when your order is ready. This is a person you are naming, that has to live their whole lives with the name you choose, why would you consider naming them Ziggy?
