Neat, small, and served with a burst of lively energy, Sushi is a funny Japanese name with real charm. Its two syllables feel tidy and bright for any dog, especially a compact pup with a precise little trot. It suits a dog who is put together on the outside and quietly chaotic in the most entertaining way inside.
Owners who enjoy food names with a playful twist will like Sushi. It suits a small, spirited dog of either sex who looks polished and plays with total abandon. It is a name with a picture attached to it. It arrived from Japanese naming stock, one of 16 names in this collection with that background. In our collection it sits with the funny names, and the feel matches: cheerfully daft, the sort of name strangers repeat back to you. Among the 48 names here that start with S, it is one of the easiest to picture on a real dog.
The prettiest name on paper still has to work at the back door. Said in two beats, Sushi has enough length to sound affectionate and enough brevity to stay sharp. In writing it is 5 letters, which the engravers of dog tags will thank you for. The Japanese roots give it a sound that stands apart from the run of park names. Whisper it, call it, and sing it once in the car; a name that survives all three is a keeper.
Every name has a dog it seems designed for. A funny name like this one is for owners who enjoy the double take it gets at the vet's waiting room. It is a unisex name in our records, chosen for both sexes by the owners behind this collection. If it makes you smile on a rainy walk in February, it will do for the next decade.
