Explanation

Mickey Mouse was indeed named after Mickey Rooney, the famous American actor. Walt Disney's wife Lillian suggested the name 'Mickey' when the character was originally going to be called 'Mortimer Mouse', and Mickey Rooney was a popular child actor at that time (late 1920s) who may have influenced the name choice.
