Etiology or What's In a Name:
Keep on Chooglin' is the title of a Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) song. You might remember the word chooglin' also being used in the CCR song Born On The Bayou in the phrase "chooglin' on down to New Orleans." John Fogerty, the writer of both songs and creater of the word , insists that chooglin' must always be spelled with an apostrophe on the end. I have always enjoyed CCR and had discovered John Fogerty's Facebook page a short time before getting this girl; thus, CCR music was swirling though my brain when I was trying to name her. Their music is great, but alas not many of their song titles make good dog names. Thus, Keep on Chooglin' was the clear choice for this gal's name. |
