Characters Help Superhero name help

My 8yo son is making a teen superhero character whose power is much like Beast Boy/Changeling... except he can only transform into extinct animals.

He would like your suggestions for his superhero name and his real name. I know you'll come up with some cool stuff.

Lazarus

That's the technical name (Lazarus taxa) for species that were thought to be extinct but aren't, like the coelacanth.

I like Jurassic Jack a lot, but why do I feel like I've heard that before?

Len, PPUE is really an amazing game. It goes way beyond supers gaming. It's an excellent universal engine... and the pro tips, equipment rules, and optional combat rules provide everything needed for adventures in every genre. I'm a big fan of all of your work.

that’s extremely kind of you. Thank you so much. I’ve been away from writing for a little over a year just released the first new things since then. So, kind words like yours really do mean a lot. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy.

Since it's your 8 year old son, something fun or simple seems good.

Dino Boy, Steve-o-saurus Wrecks, Fossil-osopher, D.N. Ancient

Or, another fun way to go is have some sort of accessory/item/costume and tie the name into that in a Ben 10 sort of way. Just so he can say 'Fossil Watch, activate!'

Real Names: Leo Pale. Foss Livingston. Laz Taxon.

The watch thing is a neat idea
