Considering that the French name is partially derived from "mousse" and it would be odd to have a double animal name derivation rather than say an animal name and a water reference, I'll bet it really is "froth" + "croak" too | Considering that the French name is partially derived from "mousse" and it would be odd to have a double animal name derivation rather than say an animal name and a water reference, I'll bet it really is "froth" + "croak" too | ||

It's suggested that the name comes from Frog and Croak. While this is possible, it would be strange for it to not reference water in some way. Another possible pair of words for it to come from is Frog and Soak. The "ie" could be just a diminutive, of course. Aielyn (talk) 00:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Design Origin
Shouldn't we add that it appears to be based on a tree frog? --CoolDudeAl (talk) 01:32, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Name Origin
Froth (as in to bubble) could also be a possibility for the English name. --CoolDudeAl (talk) 01:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
