Slurpuff is based on the meringue, a dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. It is often topped with whipped cream and fruits to create a meringue nest. The red spot on its head resembles a fruit topping such as a strawberry or cherry. Meringue is also used as a sweet base on other various desserts such as cakes, pies and pastries. Slurpuff may also be based on cupcakes or Japanese-style mille-feuille. Cupcakes are sometimes referred to as fairy cakes, which may be an inspiration for its type. Considering its lolling tongue, nose, paws, and ear-like circular extensions on its head, it may also be based on a dog, possibly a Bichon Frise or poodle.
Slurpuff may be a combination of slurp and puff. It may also be a play on the word surplus.
Peroream may be a combination of ペロペロ peropero (onomatopoeic sound for licking) and cream.
Both names may refer to the profiterole (cream puff), a pastry dessert filled with whipped cream and then topped with ganache, and a sauce.
