Axolotl name suggestions!

Ok so. I have two axolotls coming tomorrow. These guys are going in my 40 gallon (build journal here - https://www.fishforums.net/threads/olivefish05s-double-tank-journal-and-builds.476424/ ) with the axolotl I currently have. These are the photos from the website I purchased them from, I will take new ones when they come. I am looking for name suggestions! I really like Wobbles and Ponyo. My other is named Kirby, but I have only had him 2 or so months so I could change his name if I wanted to go with a theme.

I came very close to buying a pair of Goldens, had tank set up & cycled etc. Decided against it. Tank sits empty.
My pair Lucys are the most boring pets I‘ve ever owned. They are inactive to the point of inertia. They hide out in their caves or stay behind the filter. Boring! They are adorable, but I prefer moving or cuddly pets.

I may move my wildlife camera from the cat room to the axies & see if these guys are more active in the dark. I’ve read people poke at them & use flash lighting to get pics. So I’ve yet to decent pic of mine. Working on doing dim lit photography with my digital SLR Canon Rebel.

As adults they are inactive for the most part. And they are more nocturnal....I did say that my boy was hyper at night and once he had done his 40 lengths after breakfast he would often park up for the day, sometimes in full view but more often in his drainpipe or in the bushes somewhere

They need to hunt prey...like live earthworms...to get motivated. They are naturally lazy even in the wild when at home in their Mexican lakes they were mainly quiet and still all day, then went rampant lunatic mode at night

Phoenix would wake me up most nights with his messing about
