Pooky my friend

When I first started looking into names, ohh so many umm days ago (now
bordering on months) I actually saw the name Puhka or similar in a
Norse (I think) saga that I was reading and the reason that I remember
it was because I thought it might be where you had gotten your name.

I am feverishly trying to re-find it.  Even though I realize that you
are looking amongish the Russianish.  Still it may help
