Now I'm confused! I was thinking of Pugatch and Pugatchyov. After reading your posting I looked up "owl" in the Russian dictionary, and it's sova (but in cyrillic letters, of course). Also, a list of Ukrainian names has Sova, "owl". So where did I get pugatch from, and what does it mean? It's not in my Russian dictionary, only pugat', and that's a verb.
