I think the name Lemmy comes from lemmings, a kind of rodent, aand, that probably answer both your questions right? That's what i think it is
So no connection with Motörhead…

Yes, it is! #Motörhead too, but not only:
"Why's it called Lemmy?
Lead singer from Motörhead.
The old school video game.
The Koopa from Super Mario.
The furry rodents."
