Goddlefrood:

Having looked at the responses to the inclusion of Hogwarts it appears 
most ground has been covered. Only one small point to add which is that 
Hogwarts is a character (or so I recall and the memory is often dim) 
from the film Legend, or some such of Jim Henson's.

One other good punning name is Golpalott as in Golpalott's laws.

For your edification it is related to swallowing copious amounts (gulp 
a lot).. boom boom
