JK chameleon Jul 2017 2:08am, 12 Jul 2017 12,250 posts	Quote Pin JK chameleon According to the bastion of knowledge Wikipedia, Winnie the Pooh was named after Winnie a bear who ended up at London Zoo (although it sounds a bit dodgy how he got there in the first place) and a swan 'called Pooh' that A. A. Milne's lad met on holiday. Perhaps the veil is meant to be drawn over why teddy bears are called that, given it comes from an animal hunting incident.
