According to the Chinese language page it's 豆豆 (lit., "bean bean") which is pronounced in the way that you're suggesting.

Dodo is colloquial French for "sleep", usually applied to children. It comes from dormir.

doudoulinux is a perfect linux distribution name in chinese because doudou is usually used as child nickname and dou refers bean.

at first glance I thought it had some relation with chinese.
