Lot of names in Dragonball have little puns behind them. Some survive translation unscathed, some don't. Ka(carrot). Vegeta(ble). Nappa (Cabbage), Raditz (Radish). Bulma comes from Bloomer, Her dads name is Dr. Brief, her mom is Panchy (Panty), and her son is Trunks. Whole undergarments family.
Then there's the Journey to the West comparisons...

Also in the Buu saga, we have the the villain Bibidi, his son Babidi, and the monster Buu. Put 'em together and what have you got? Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!

Just learned recently that pilaf sama (DB season 1) has the character for fried rice on his shirt. So it's a pun on rice for this evil guy somehow.
