Meaning and background
The story behind Boujee
Boujee appears in Merriam-Webster as a variant of bougie. The adjective refers to concern with wealth, possessions, and respectability, and the dictionary labels it informal and usually disparaging. That nuance matters if it is chosen as a playful luxury-themed dog name: the word can tease as well as praise. Its supported history here is a slang-word association, with no claim that it originated as a personal name.
