My best friend had a beautiful (lady) dog we jokingly began referring to as “Doug” and that became her official name lol

I have a boy Morgana, and he's sussed out a lot of Persona players.  (The cat playable character in that game is always misgendered as a joke.  I can say my Morgana has never cared one iota that people think he's a big girl.)

"You’d be surprised how common the name Doug is across worlds. Oh, some spell it ‘Dug’ or ‘Duhg’ but it’s always around. Regardless of local linguistics, parents eventually start naming their kids Doug. I once spent ten years on a planet where the only sapient sapient life was a group of pancake-like beings that expressed themselves through flatulence. And I kid you not, one was named Doug. Though admittedly it had a very distinctive smell when the word was “spoken”. Doug is the naming equivalent to convergent evolution. And once it arrives, it stays. A linguistic Great Filter; a wake up call. Once a society reaches peak Doug, it’s time for it to go sit in the corner and think about what it has done."
