==Etymology==
''Cala Marley'' and his Japanese song title, ''Ika Jamaica'', both reference the Jamaican reggae artist [[wikipedia:Bob Marley|Bob Marley]]. His first name in the English localization of ''[[Splatoon]]'' may have been chosen to continue this pattern. ''Cala Marley'' could also be a reference to the [[Squid Sisters]], whose English names together sound like "calamari". Dub could mean "Dubstep".
Dub is a reference to Dub music, an offshoot of reggae, while Bob may be a reference to reggae artist [[wikipedia:Bob Marley|Bob Marley]]. This is further reinforcedby his Japanese name of ''Cala Marley'', which is also a homonym of the squid dish calamari. The members of the [[Squid Sisters]], [[Callie]] and [[Marie]] share a very similar naming pun.
