Name Origin
In french, Otaquin is a combination of Otarie (sea lion) and "taquin" (mischievous). Unbirth (talk) 19:13, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Its a possibility I guess, but the "taquin" aspect seems much more prevalent. --Unbirth (talk) 22:27, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Name Origin
If we're considering Hawaiian words as an influence for the name's origin, then perhaps the Hawaiian word for ball, "pōpō", should be considered for the first part of the name. After all, the Japanese name's broken-down meaning is "sea lion" and "ball".
If so, then would someone be willing to add pōpō into the name origin section?
- Popplio may be a combination of pop and lio. Pop may come from the Hawaiian word for ball, pōpō, or from the English word pop. Lio, may come from ʻīlio-holo-i-ka-uaua, the Hawaiian name for the Hawaiian monk seal, which means "dog that runs in rough water".
I changed some punctuation for Hawaiian words, as they traditionally are written with the ʻ and with certain pronunciation cues (see: ō and ī). Paᗧ•••ᗣck 23:06, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
