Washington learned how to Dougie.
Off the social media platforms, Doug connections are still apparent. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who headed the CBO under George W. Bush, has struck up a friendship with Doug Elmendorf, who led the same office under Barack Obama — their shared wonkiness binding them alongside their shared name. Doug Heye, a longtime GOP operative, gets along swimmingly with Doug Thornell, a longtime Democratic operative.“I was at an event … talking with Thornell when the second gentleman walked by.
The name Doug or Douglas traces back to Douglas Water, a tributary of the River Clyde in Scotland. Cleveland Evans, professor emeritus of Psychology at Bellevue University and America’s foremost expert on names, said it became common in both the USA and Canada in the 1940s and 1950s. The predominant theory was that parents in that era saw it as a “‘different but not too different’ shift from the previously popular Donald, another D- name with Scottish roots.
Almost every one of the nine Dougs contacted for this piece said they once had the nickname Dougie Fresh. That includes Burgum, whose children referred to him by the stage name of the ‘90s rapper. Several of them said they grew up worshiping D.C. football’s most famous Doug: Williams, the first Black quarterback to start a Super Bowl. All of them idolized former football star Doug Flutie.
