@Diz, eel actually, its an eel.

Her name is a on "Ottoman" and "eel". "Machi" prob. has some pun I didn't see, but I saw Ottoman and Eel right away without looking it up.If anyone knows if there is a further pun, besides the literal one someone threw up too, do tell. I can't work any out.

Rule no.1X of anime design, if its based on something that can be eaten... So Spice and sugar are used in some recipes to cook eel.... So there is that mystery solved of why they went with the reference to the rhyme (that and being a little girl...). Only God knows how I happen to know this... I likely came across it when I was an anime not mid-90s to 2006. Who knows. :-/
