The character was named after a toy bear owned by Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne. Most of the other characters are also named after toys belonging to Christopher Milne, the exceptions being Christopher Robin himself, and Owl and Rabbit, who are presumably based on real-life animals. Christopher Milne had named his toy after a real bear called Winnipeg, brought to Britain from Canada and whom Milne and his son often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met on a holiday.

Yeah, your right! Poor Pooh Bear. What about people who nickname their kids after him, those nicknames stick for life.

What's really sad is not his name.
What's sad about the story is that Christopher Robin grows up and leaves. Since the whole W-T-P gang exists in Christopher Robin's imagination, they actually cease to live.
No more stories.

Oh, let it go. He's seems quite happy. Don't point out your concerns to him. He could be called Eyore (probably spelled wrong)
