For explanation: Boogaloo movement, "Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler.[11] The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH.[12] "

So, funny story, as a kid my favorite number was 8, had a few reasons that matched 8.

So I always used it in names and such. But, often it wasnt unique, so I used 88 instead. Emails, account names, even video game characters have 88 in them to this day.

... Am I accidentally a Nazi?

My wife’s pet name is Boog, and I’m determined not to let Nazis take it away.

I had a cat growing up named Boog... named after John "Boog" Powell... the baseball player, not Nazis.
