Like Pish, I also don't like to be negative about names. It is important that the parents like the name. After a while everyone in the family gets used to a name and can't imagine the child being called anything else. And I have known some kids with some unusual names - Feather, Yogi, Chai...but I got used to them and it never made me feel negatively about the child.
In relation to Pogue, my first thought was the band. Then I said it out loud a few times, and I wonder if it could get misheard as 'Poke'.
