Meaning and background
The story behind Vogue
Vogue has an English association with popularity or something currently fashionable. The dictionary also records the verb involving stylized fashion-model poses in dance. Those senses can support different naming stories, from an interest in style to a particular performance memory. A dog owner may instead intend a publication or personal namesake, but that would need separate evidence. The word entry documents the vocabulary without proving the household's intended reference.
