In _Dragon Ball_ series, most names are puns on something. Saiyans are named
after vegetables, Gods of destruction are named after alcohol beverages, Bulma
and Bura are names of girl clothes, etc.

Now it's been revealed in a Jump magazine (Japanese magazine) that the last 2
members of Universe 6 are

> Namekians, and their names are サオネル (Saoneru) and ピリナ (Pirina)

Are these names a pun on something?
