Famous bearer is NASCAR legend Darrell Waltrip. He goes "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!" every time the green flag drops.
This is my maternal grandfather's first name, so whenever I hear it I automatically think of him. I think it sounds a little old-fashioned, but not so much that I couldn't imagine anyone born nowadays to have it.
