well, christopher robin is actually a real boy, he received a teddy for his first birthday, he called it winnie The Pooh.
It's only a name a little boy made up, his uncle or dad i cant be sure on wich one just decided to write a story about a little boy and his toys

There was a swan on the lake near the Milne's home, which father and son decided was so proud and haughty looking that he should be called after the Grand Pooh-Bah in the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. later,the boy..the real Christopher Robin by the way, was given a teddy bear and named it after the swan except that the name became pooh bear instead of pooh bah. In the very first of the stories, Milne mentions the swan,by the way.

Because Winnie the Kodiak just doesn't have that ring to it!
Seriously though, A.A. Milne based the story on his son (Christopher Robin Milne) and his son's bear, named Winnie after a bear at the zoo named Winnipeg, and Pooh after a swan they encountered on a vacation.

Here is a fact I bet you didnt know... Winnie the Pooh was originally created in a little town in Canada, Blind River.
I will post you a picture of the details * I took it when I was travelling though last week*
