    His name actually came from the voice of Prince Zuko's last name.
    Dante Basco.

    It's Bosco, not Basco, so that kind of blows that theory out of the water My idea? Bosco is just a cutesie name for a bear.

    I think it's supposed to be a reference to Dante Basco, but it definitely is Bosco with an o, not an a.

    I think I send that allusion in. Anyway that could be it, or you know it could just be the somewhat common name for bears.
    Or the name of this http://users.pandora.be/pascal.meijer/cockeng/13373.htm
