According to one definition of "doudou" found at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080208082428AA... :
Quoting:In French slang it means "Me" or "myself" "C'est Doudou qui fait tout": It is me who has to do everything. It also exists in Creole French and means "Sweetheart" or "Darling girl". It is also the comfort rag or soft toy that small children cuddle.
The "comfort rag or soft toy that small children cuddle" is obviously significant for the "doudou" in the young children's DoudouLinux.

An alternate spelling of doudou's common pronunciation is "dudu". Surprisingly -- and perhaps not completely unrelated -- there happens to be a social networking site 'Dudu Alpha' found at http://www.godudu.com which allows members to "Chat with foreign people in your[their] native language!"

Just goes to show that some things don't travel well.

Doodoo means something entirely different where I come from :(

@skelband, mrider,

Yeah, I know what THIS doodoo is, yuk!! Did anyone else see last week's news story http://news.yahoo.com/s/digitaltrends/20110615/tc_digitaltre... ? Doubly sickly gross! (am I violating the TOS? If so, then go ahead and edit-out this link.)

Sounds gross but it's only what plants do albeit more slowly.

Think about that when you're eating your organically grown carrots :D

What's with some of the distro names lately? Fuduntu -- yeah, anything with "fud" in the title is clearly appealing -- topped only (so far) by Doudou.

Ahem.

Very unfortunate name. Up there with the We Pad.

@icafiero - Fuduntu is the best name ever. ;)
