However, this name could also be really cool for a dog, like a German Shepherd? I could just imagine someone saying "Lothar! Come here, boy! There you are! Who's a good puppy?! Who's a good puppy?!" followed by a treat and a good belly rubbing.Sorry, but that's what popped into my mind. I hope I haven't offended anyone.
