Lazlo?

[lazlomaybe]

Thoughts on Lazlo? I think it's funky!

Like the vampire?

Only just looked that up - did not know that reference, but I'm not mad at it!

I immediately thought vampire too...

I think it's weird. Sorry, I don't like it.

It’s spelt László. Never seen or heard of it as Lazlo.

"Origin: Slavic: Rules with glory. Short form of Vladislav, spelling variation of Laszlo."

So I guess it's just a bastardized version?

I think of Victor Lazlo from Casablanca.
I like it OP!

Woohoo, @GallopingGreen! We have one positive response

I'm not too worried about slightly weird / vampy. I'm slightly weird and vampy too, probably!

I prefer Lazar

It’s actually Victor Laszlo from Casablanca. My grandfather was a Laszlo, my df was a Laszlo. My brother is Leslie, translated to Laszlo. It’s shortened to Laci.

I like it but I personally wouldn't use it as I don't have a connection to Eastern Europe.

My friend's dad is Hungarian and has this name.

Unless you are Hungarian i think it's too try hard/weird

how about Lorenzo

I like it!

I like it but please spell it correctly.

It makes me think of Papa Lazarou from league of gentlemen. Not sure how relevant that is nowadays though!

It’s a cracking name if you’re Hungarian 🇭🇺

I do like the sound of it, think of it as a Hungarian name though and would only it if had a connection

My dd loves this book called The Dark, which has a Laszlo in it. That’s my only association and I’m not totally sure how to pronounce it, I usually say Laz-lo. It’s a nice name but quite unusual.

Yes, as others have pointed out, it’s Hungarian. I think it’s nice, but would likely get shortened to Lazi / Laz.

My DS is Laurence and we often call him Laszlo! As a nn it just stuck and it suits him!!

It’s spelled Laszlo.

(Supposedly)

László (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈlaːsloː]) is a Hungarian male given name and surname after the King-Knight Saint Ladislaus I of Hungary (1077–1095). It derives from Ladislav, a variant of Vladislav. Other versions are Laslo, Lazlo, Lessl or Laszly. The name has a history of being frequently anglicized as Leslie.

Love it, but I would definitely spell it correctly - Laszlo.

It just doesn't look right without the S.
