Etymology

Scooby comes from the cartoon name Scooby-Doo, and one popular story says the makers borrowed the nonsense singing 'doo-be-doo-be-doo' from a famous singer to make a fun, musical name. So Scooby sounds like a playful dog sound, which is why the name fits the friendly cartoon dog and its toys.
