Thanks for posting, it's great to have the mystery solved at last. It is a very odd name! I'm guessing that maybe the association with 'cooties' - which as a term for lice, seems to have originated in WWI - was probably general enough at that point to make the name seem a bit awkward to the script-writer for a little girl.
