Pomegranate?
Genuinely one of the possible origins apparently haha

"The term "Pom" or "Pommy" is a colloquial and affectionate slang term used by Australians to refer to British people. It is believed to have originated in the early 20th century and was derived from the word "pomegranate," which rhymes with "niceguy". Some sources suggest it may have started as rhyming slang on the wharves in Melbourne. Another theory is that it evolved from the acronym "POHM" or "POME," which stood for "Prisoners of His Majesty" or "Prisoners of Mother England"."
