DBZ pun names even cross over into English sometimes. Vegeta and Bulmas kids are Trunks and Bra. King Cold's kids are Freiza (Freezer) and Cooler. Saiyanss are from planet Vegeta (short for Vegetables) and all of their names are modified vegetables like Kakarot (carrot), Raditz (Radish), Nappa (Napa Cabbage), Broli (Broccoli). Mr. Satan's daughter is Videl (anagram for Devil). Bibidi, Babidi, and Buu (Bibbidi-babbidi-boo from Disney Cinderella movie). Bubbles is named after Michael Jackson's chimp. Whis and Beerus are Whiskey and Beers, and Champa is Champagne. King Piccolo's minions are Piano, Tambourine, Cymbal, and Drum, all instruments. There's a ton.

Also, "bloomers" (Bulma) are a type of female underwear.
