Here's a little fun fact ab Maomao's name:

"Mao" means "Cat" in Chinese. Her name literally translates to "Cat Cat"

If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece

Also, she is named after woodsorell ("cats paw" as it is called in JP at least). This is why this unimpressive yellow flower appears in the anime OP.

@Inquisitive_47 Most names are actually references to animals or acts, even english ones, "tatsuya" in japanese means dragon for example.
Karin is swedish for "pure".
Robert is germanic for "bright fame".
Elizabeth is hebrew for "god is my oath".
These are a few examples.

I forgot Mao literally translates to "Cat" and someone pointed it out to me while I was watching the premiere. Thought it was pretty amusing.

Maomao (็Œซ็Œซ) is not really so much 'catcat'. In Chinese naming/nicknaming people like to repeat the word twice - for example in the series we also have Meimei (ๆข…ๆข…). It's just a stylistic thing. Maomao is also nicknamed Xiaomao at one point (little cat).
