Bogart

Bogart derives from an Old Dutch or Flemish surname meaning "orchard" — from "boomgaard." But in modern culture it is irrevocably associated with Humphrey Bogart, the Hollywood icon of world-weary cool, laconic charm, and moral complexity — the original cool guy.

Bogart is a name that carries Humphrey Bogart's entire persona: the slightly rumpled trench coat, the cigarette, the way he could say more with a half-smile than most actors could say with a full monologue. For pets, it suits the laid-back, unflappable type — the dog who watches everything from a comfortable position, who never seems to panic, who has clearly seen things. Pets named Bogart tend to be charismatic without trying, cool without effort, and deeply appealing to everyone they meet.
