:::::Also, I can't help but notice that fuusen isn't mentioned as a possible name origin in that link to the Japanese Wiki, nor is puripuri or kurikuri mentioned. | :::::Also, I can't help but notice that fuusen isn't mentioned as a possible name origin in that link to the Japanese Wiki, nor is puripuri or kurikuri mentioned. | ||
:::::Fukureru is possible, like I mentioned above, I just think that pukupuku is far more likely as it is a simpler word that has a similar enough meaning and is easier for children to interpret. Plus it already has the handakuten. No matter how you look at it Fukureru is more of a stretch, not much more, but still more nonetheless.--[[User:Vanya|Vanya]] ([[User talk:Vanya|talk]]) 04:44, 9 March 2016 (UTC) | :::::Fukureru is possible, like I mentioned above, I just think that pukupuku is far more likely as it is a simpler word that has a similar enough meaning and is easier for children to interpret.

::::::Just because it's "the actual word used", that doesn't automatically make it make sense; there's not a shred of logic to that thinking. If Luvdisc was named "Fork", that wouldn't mean fork made any sense as its name. Can you give me any explanation of why pudding should make any sense, aside from "it is the actual word used"? | |||
::::::(As for being an abbreviation, I didn't know that, but that's still the Japanese. It doesn't really translate to an abbreviation of the English word.) | |||
::::::As for what the JP wiki says, I wasn't using it to say that its answers are the only right ones. The others you want to use it to dismiss are still possible (to varying degrees, at least). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:11, 9 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
