Meaning and background
The story behind Fraggle
Fraggle refers to the furry underground creatures in Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock. The producing company describes their musical adventures alongside the smaller, industrious Doozers and the much larger Gorgs; the original series began in 1983. Red, Gobo, Wembley, Boober and Mokey are individual Fraggles, so the word names a fictional group rather than just one character. A dog’s name can recall that imaginative setting, its songs or a childhood favourite. It does not need an invented foreign-language meaning to support the connection.
