Dougie

Dougie is a masculine name of Scottish origin and a shortened form of Douglas or Dougal. Whether you wish to celebrate baby’s Highland heritage or encourage them to find light in their gloomiest days, their name will be just as fitting. Douglas means “dark river,” deriving from the Gaelic elements dubh, meaning “dark,” and glais, meaning “river.” Perhaps rivers will remind little Dougie of their life journey, and their belief that they’ll end up where they need to be! Dougal translates to “dark stranger,” so don’t be surprised if baby likes to keep people guessing as to what they’ll do and where they’ll go next.
