The name "Lazarus" is stuck in my head
Not pregnant, but thinking about it in the near future. My husband and I throw around baby names sometimes. We like the idea of a biblical name: Not too generic, like Daniel, but not too "extra" like Genesis.
I created an original character once that I named Laszlo. I loved the name, and now that I'm thinking about children, loving this name + wanting a Bible name equaled Lazarus.
What's the general opinion on the name Lazarus, with the nickname Laszlo? Whenever I throw around other potential boy names, none bring me as much joy haha.
(Info: Lazarus was a friend of Jesus, that he dearly loved, and Jesus raised him back to life from the dead.)

It’s definitely a super cool name, but I don’t see how it’s any less extra than Genesis. I’d actually consider it to be far more out there.
Ah, maybe "extra" was a poor choice of words. Not sure what word to use instead, but I'm still looking for the name of a person, not a book of the Bible. I definitely agree that Lazarus is very unique! Hopefully unique enough to stand out, but not too much to where it's a very uncommon name.
Yeah, it’s definitely unusual! I kinda like it, but I don’t know. It’s kinda badass.
