The Origin of Boogie

Many have asked where CJs nickname Boogie originated from so I thought I would give a quick recap here. Chris, CJs mom, had people throughout her whole life have a problem saying her last name, Nguyen. People would say "Nu gen", "Nugent", "Nuh Guyan" and many others that were way off. Eventually, friends began to nickname Chris "Noogie" instead of trying to say her name correctly.

When we found out CJ was coming, a college friend of Chris, Jeff Wong, came up with the name Boogie. This name was derived from Baby Noogie, therefore Boogie. Because we were holding out on finding out our baby's sex, we just started referring to the baby as Boogie and it just stuck for us.

Funny thing is that when I was at BabysRUS I saw some wet wipes that were branded Boogie Wipes.
