I want to name my next dog "After the War" - y'know, like the Paul Simon song "Rene and Georgette Magritte and their dog, 'After the War.' "
I suppose it would be classier to call it "Apres le Guerre" though.
Definitely not "Nach dem Krieg" - that might make it sound like the war was still going on. Despite it being almost seventy years since WWII, Americans are probably still a little bit skittish about people yelling strange German phrases into the air at twilight, even if you're just calling your dog inside for the evening, back to home and hearth.
