One of the main characters in the novels is an English sea captain with a hearty appetite. He is often described as enjoying various puddings, of which Spotted Dick is one. The cookbook authors speculate that the Dick in Spotted Dick, the Dog in Spotted Dog, the Duff in Plum Duff and other similar terms are based on the word "dough". I myself have made Spotted Dick, and I must say I don't see the attraction.
I also must say that "Spotted Dick" is the least appetizing name for a food dish that I have ever heard (followed closely by "Toad in the Hole").
Happy listening,
Jim

Follow Ups:
Not a great fan of suet puddings myself, dodgy name or no.
A home-made bread&butter pudding though is an excellent way of using up stale bread and can be sublime.
I could never...
I love me a good haggis with neeps and tatties.
Quite happily skip the scotch though as I prefer my whisky undestilled.
