What's A Wubby?

The original name of the children's book that this whole project started with was 'Flopsy, Mopsy, and Ted". But for legal reasons we had to change the name.

I'm glad that we did because the names that we have now are really reflective of who the characters are.

But, what's a Wubby you ask?

One reader wrote in to say that Wubby was a nickname for his newborn daughter (wiggly and chubby).

Actually the name was inspired by my girlfriends cousin Rodney who referred to his childhood security blanket as a "wubby".

Either way, the name seems appropriate.

I just hope that Wubby doesn't mean something naughty in a small Scandinavian country.

(And yes, that is a photo of my wubby. I guess Mom and Dad were expecting a girl!)

One of the kids in the 80's Movie
"Mr. Mom" has a security Blanket
named "Wubby" starring Michael Keaton
and Terry Garr.
If I remember correctly there is a Scene where it's damaged and Keaton staples it back together since he can't Sew.

Well, Wubby doesn't mean anything (naughty or otherwise) in Icelandic. I can't speak for the rest of the smaller Scandinavina countries though... ;)
