Not inspired or related to pingu..?
Is that line claiming that the name 'Pingus' was somehow stumbled upon with no influence of the TV show at all? I would seriously doubt that that is the case... I can't find the origin of the name of the TV show, but I can't find any connection with penguins and the word 'pingu' other than the TV show, and this game. I would go as far as to say that the name certainly was inspired by Pingu without proof to the contrary.

- The name Pingus is a sort-hand for "Pinguine", german for penguins. The goal was simply to find a name that sounds cute, is short and relates to the topic of the game. One alternative choice was Lemguins, but that sounded to crappy, so it was dropped. -- Grumbel 11:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- But still, I'd think at least one of the companies that has owned the rights to the TV show over time will have sued. — Smjg (talk) 21:02, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
