小熊维尼 / 噗熊
Explanation:
'Pooh' probably refers to Winnie the Pooh / Pooh Bear -- a cartoon bear. In Taiwan, the name is usually translated as 小熊维尼. Google also turns up 温妮噗, 噗熊 and 噗.

I would probably choose 噗熊, since this cartoon character, and not simply the sound [p'u], is relevant to the nickname.
