I have ALWAYS wondered this.

Well, Pooh is a lot shorter (1 syllable) and easier to say than Winnie (2 syllables); maybe his friends are all just lazy about saying his real name.

Wouldn't YOU call your friend Pooh if you could?? I know I would!

But why is it THE pooh? Aarrghhh all these unanswered questions!

They call him Pooh Bear. I think Pooh is kind of an honorary title. Maybe he won a hunny eating competition, and is now the Pooh of all hunny?

I just figured this out about a year ago when I was watching old cartoons.
Pooh's friends go by what they are; Rabbit, Owl, etc. Since Winnie the Pooh is THE Pooh, that's what he goes by, just like Rabbit it THE Rabbit.
The only thing I don't get is why Eeyore and Tigger don't go by Donkey and Tiger.
