Made Up: Modern invented name with no dictionary meaning..
Our editors checked this meaning before publishing. Names with several genuine origins are shown as separate senses rather than a single claim.
Is Pochie a good dog name?
Pochie has not been formally rated for calling yet. As a rule of thumb, one or two clear syllables work best for recall. With 1 syllable, it is quick to say — a practical length for recall.
Before you commit, say it out loud a few times and check it does not clash with a household name or a training cue like "sit" or "no".
Pochie popularity in the Pets In The City community

Popularity comes from anonymised, aggregated records of dogs at our 5 Auckland centres. It reflects our community, not a national census.
What kind of dog does Pochie suit?
It suits any dog — it is used across the board in our community. Owners often pick Pochie for its funny, wonderfully unusual feel. Treat these as suggestions — plenty of dogs happily wear names that break every rule.
