I guess Doge as in Dogecoin was meant to be pronounced "doggie", deliberately misspelt, whereas the Venetian Doge is pronounced /ˈdoʊdʒ/ (~doj).

  The E at the end of doge (Venetian ruler) is not mute.

    Wikipedia has the e as mute in Venetian but not in Italian...? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_of_Venice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_of_Venice

      I'm Venetian, so I'm probably biased, but I never heard the word 'doge' without the 'e' even outside Venice.

        Maybe Wikipedia needs correcting...
