Bogey at rank 1375 is a name with a split personality: it's either Humphrey Bogart compressed into a nickname, or it's a golf term for one over par. Both sources produce owners with a clear sense of themselves. The name appears in 78 registrations, all of them deliberate.
The Bogart Connection
Humphrey Bogart, Bogey to everyone who knew him, is one of Hollywood's permanent fixtures: the trench coat, the cigarette, the drawl. Dog owners who chose Bogey are usually reaching for that specific laconic coolness. French Bulldogs and Boston Terriers carry the cinematic angle particularly well. Their compact, wrinkled gravity suits a Bogart reference.
The Golf Reading
The golf bogey is one stroke over par on a hole, a less glamorous source that produces a different owner type: the weekend golfer who wanted something course-adjacent. Male dogs dominate this name, consistent with both source associations. Birdie and Ace occupy similar golf-name territory.
The Counter-Reading
Bogey has one slight phonetic issue: it sounds like bogeyman to some ears, introducing an unintended spooky undertone. Most people won't make that leap, but owners who want the retro-cool without the ambiguity might find Bogart itself cleaner as a starting point.
