Actually, he got Iggy from his highschool band Iguanas, and he got Pop because when he was a member of 'The Stooges' he shaved his eyebrows for the stage, and he looked like a friend of them who had chemotherapies, his name was Popp. I know my english suck, but you get what I mean.

I like the name Iggy Stooge better. Iggy Spooge would be even better.
