A chara,
Someone with a better foclóir will have to give you the word for 'grizzly'. Other than that 'Pooh Bear' is the name of the character, so 'Pooh', I assume, would only be spelled differently in this case. (Something like 'Pú' perhaps.) And interestingly (Or maybe disappointingly.) the word for bear in Irish is 'béar' and is pronounced the same.
Slán,
Maidhc.
