Caillou is "little stone" in French. It isn't a name, just a common word.

Actually, "Pebbles" would be a closer translation ;)

Ah, but Pebbles Flintstone - the cute toddler with a bone in her hair - is a girl, and Caillou appears to be a boy. As for Petros, in Morfydd's post, I used to pat myself on the back for naming my son Peter when he was in his heavy metal teenage phase. Rock, for sure!

I agree that Pebble would be a closer translation, but at the same time it occurs to me that the whole idea could be derived from Petros, or Peter, meaning a rock. He could be a small version of Peter!
