dunno.
But I don't think: "Foo" is just one, instead goofy, donald, mickey, minnie, daisy... sounds like an enumeration of things. Like the names of seven dwarfs, but italian version are too much long: brontolo, mammolo, pisolo, eolo, dotto, cucciolo, gongolo. 🙂
And because a tutorial is for beginning, what is there more clear and generic of cartoons's name?
Finally, the keys position: pippo (goofy) especially has all the letters near. It's the fastest word to typing...
