Ponyo
Ponyo is a 2008 animated film by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, about a goldfish who wants to become human.
The name has become shorthand for the film itself: We watched Ponyo last night.
Outside film discussion, Ponyo occasionally appears as a pet name or affectionate nickname for small, round creatures.
