Morphology
woogie = woog + ie
The suffix '-ie' signals a diminutive/affectionate form, but the base 'woog' has no independent lexical meaning in modern English, so the exact semantic source is not predictable.
Etymology
Woogie often works like a cute pet name because it uses the friendly ending -ie, just like sweetie or doggie. So calling someone woogie is a playful, affectionate nickname.
