Etymology

Dub is a reference to Dub music, an offshoot of reggae, while Bob may be a reference to reggae artist Bob Marley. This is further reinforced by 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.
