Why can't I use the word 'rockstar' in my store name / description?

I’m trying to create a store to sell T-shirts and mugs for my Rockstar project (https://codewithrockstar.com) - but I can’t use the word “rockstar” in my shop name or description - which makes it a bit difficult to describe what the store is for… why is this word not permitted?

I think it maybe because of such word mark entries DPMAregister | Trade marks - Information on a European Union trade mark, DPMAregister | Trade marks - Information on a European Union trade mark, DPMAregister | Trade marks - Information on a European Union trade mark
You can only appeal or clarify it before a court.
