‘For me, Rocco is just a beautiful name,’ Jackie remarked.
Ben, who is the former drummer for grunge band Silverchair, said Bonham was named after the late Led Zeppelin percussionist John Bonham, who was ‘a big influence on my music career’.
‘Their personalities definitely match their names. Rocco is a little bit fiery, whereas Bonham is a little bit of a zen master,’ he said.
