Maybe the name is a reference to the movie "The Return of the Pink Panther? I just recently watched it again and the main character, Inspector Clouseau, has an opening scene where he keeps on rambling about some begging monkey. But because he has an outlandish French accent all he ever says is something between "mankey" and "minky". Thought that, that might be worth mentioning. The movie released in 1975 so someone who watched it growing up, would have been in the right age when the games were first localised. Still, all of it is speculation of course. ~Dippi
