<p>The <a href="http://wikimoon.org/index.php?title=DD_Girls" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DD Girls</a> only appear in the original anime; they are not in the <em>Sailor Moon</em> manga or consequently, <em>Sailor Moon Crystal</em>. In their first appearance in the anime (in the first half of ep. 45), they identify themselves as the DD Girls:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Queen Beryl: In moments, Queen Metalia will be fully resurrected. I will allow no one to interfere. Anyone who can finish these girls [the Sailor Senshi] off, step forward.</p>
<p>DD Girls: Please let us, the DD girls, take on the task.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(For reference, the line spoken by the DD girls sounds roughly like その役目、我がデイーデイー・ガールズに, but my Japanese skills are extremely lacking and I may well be wrong.)</p>
<p>There does not appear to be an official explicit explanation for their name; if there were, I would have expected someone to point it out already somewhere. However, if I had to take a guess, I would suggest that it is simply a matter of themed naming: consider that the <em>DD Girls</em> show up when the Sailor Senshi are at <em>D Point</em>. (They also work for the <em>Dark</em> Kingdom, but the correspondence between the letters is less overt there, so that seems less likely.)</p>

<p>The "D.D. Girls" (ディーディー・ガールズ) were rumored to be based on a very popular J-Pop girl band at the time of the first season being written/planned, known as: "C.C. Girls" (シーシー・ガールズ) (previously known as "D.D. Gaps").</p>

<p>Quite interesting how similar the names are. Both are written in Katakana also. Not sure if it was ever explained officially, but it's an interesting theory. </p>

Interesting! ... If you could translate the Wikipedia page on them, that'd help pick out similarities?

<p>Why are the <a href="http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/DD_Girls" rel="noreferrer">DD Girls</a> named such?</p>

<p>Their name in katakana: [ディーディー・ガールズ], has no meaning, other than just being "DD Girls"...</p>

<p>How do we even know that they're called the DD Girls?</p>

Why are the [DD Girls](http://sailormoon.wikia.com/wiki/DD_Girls) named such?

Their name in katakana: [ディーディー・ガールズ], has no meaning, other than just being "DD Girls"...

How do we even know that they're called the DD Girls?
