Lhasa Apso Names

A puppy needs just the right name to live up to, a name that fits his personality or his appearance or his owner's expectations. A puppy's name will be used dozens of times each day. It should be short and sweet, preferably one or two syllables. It should not sound like anyone else's name or like any of the commands that will be used to tell the puppy what you expect him to do.

Some owners bestow plain and simple names on their canine companions --many a Dusty or Rusty, Bob or Blackie, Patches or Spot lives in urban and suburban neighborhoods throughout the country. Other owners name their pooches after favorite book, movie, or television characters; sports; favorite relatives; or favorite foods; there's a plethora of Sherlocks, Scarlets, Spocks, Sluggers, Sams, and Sugars around.

Still other owners confer humorous appellations upon their unsuspecting pets. A Great Dane becomes Tiny or Peanut, a Shih Tzu is Superman, a black Cocker is Snowball, or a Mastiff is Pansy.
