You're right, it's definitely 'coopee' and definitely not Toby. If you get the book, do come back and post your findings. I'm quite curious now, too!

I got the book today
The girl's name is Cooty in the book. I don't know why it was changed to Coopy in the film. They are both very odd names!

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.

Yes, I'm curious now too!
