The guy who drew him (Joe Palrang) called him 'Fang' and most of the rest of the folks in the Java group did as well. When we went public with Java Sun PR didn't like the name we'd given him so they picked Duke. I think Wayne Rosing suggested that name but my memory of that is quite fuzzy.

He looks like a fang though. Maybe that's what they've nicknamed him internally.
