What's stupid about it?

Dig was an early and widespread DNS CLI tool. "dog" is a logical name for a next-gen dns cli, and of course that exists. "Doggo" is both a pretty standard linguistic drift pattern of English slang (random -> rando, weird -> weirdo), a common internet term of endearment for "dog", and a logical derivation of *-go for go-based tools and software.

Surprised nobody went for "dug", à la DigDug.
