My thinking is that there could be at least two reasons.

1: Puffle kind of describes how they look and how they're basically puffballs with faces.

Now get ready for reason 2!

2: Puffle sounds similar to the name of a bird that is similar to penguins, known as a puffin. Could this reason have some merit? What are your thoughts?
