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
