Maybe when he was a puppy he liked playing with potatos? That's how the dog's names are being born sometimes.
NAMES POLES GIVE THEIR DOGS
That's a good theory. Back then I hardly had a word of Polish and was nervous about talking to people but now I'd ask her - although of course there's no guarantee I'd understand the answer! Usually people understand more than they speak but with me it's a case of 'mowię ale nie rozumiem'!

I dont have a dog but suggested by neighbour to name his pup after a PF member as an honour:D
A neighbour named his dog Ugrysz
Just to let you know that this name has no meaning in Polish language before you start suggesting it's dumb...
Ugrysz
Maybe that's Dougpol's misspelling of Ugryź (imperative of to bite). Some may remember that in the Polish sitcom "Czterdziestolatek" the father-in-law had a dog named Bierzgo (Sic 'im).

Juma? No? Not a common Polish name for a dog?
Well that's my dog's name. Very unique then.

Growing up my Polish grandfather had a white Shepard we called troumba (sp?) He said it meant Sh*thead. Is anyone familiar with this word??
troumba
trąba simply - the main meaning is trumpet - in a figurative meaning it can mean shithead
I wouldn`t translate it as shithead, it sounds too strong. Trąba is a mild word, sth like a fool, goof.

Do you have Żasmina, Żaneta in Poland?
Yes, but never heard them used for dogs.
