Yes.
EDIT: Ok, here's the explanation straight from Wikipedia "According to Bandai the name is a portmanteau combining the Japanese word "たまご" (tamago) which means "egg", and the English word "watch" (as in timepiece).[2] Consequently, the name is romanized as "Tamagotch" without the "i" in Japan."

Yes. They were also thinking of that when they named the vintage Tamagotchis, way back in the '90s.
