Man Stealer
Is it worth noting that L'homme Burglerre translates roughly to "Man Stealer" in French? I thought this was funny as hell when I first saw it.

Clouseau
This may be quite a stretch, but with all the humor in mispronouncing "hamburger" I almost want to say the name is also a side-reference to the 2006 Pink Panther reboot with Steve Martin.
Aside from Clouseau being French he also has a running gag of failing to pronounce "hamburger" (which, come to think of it, usually comes out sounding just like the item name).
Would it be worth putting in the "Trivia" section as a possibility or would it be too obscure?
