Lazarus

[tummytickler]

Hi
Dh and i both like Lazarus, but is it at all usable or does it just conjur up images of leprosy etc.
Also is it too biblical with brothers Eli adn Amos?

DDG - I bow to your higher liturgical knowledge

not keen on that , sorry...think Levi or Noah or Joseph, well...more commonly used Biblical names might be better....although, is Amos, biblical....(my excuse is, I am german, and that might be why I never heard it used in a biblical sense )....Amos, possibly wornly strikes me, for no particular reason, as a Irish/Scottish nmae....but somehow not biblical

Yes - Amos was a prophet, and also there is a Book of Amos in the Old Testament.

Amos is the old boy in Emmerdale. He cannot be anything else

Not keen on Lazarus at all.

Oh, but Amos is my little boy tucked up in bed with the chicken pox! I didnt notice a beard when i put him to bed

Laszlo?

Hmmm - Laszlo? I am going to check it out for origin and meaning and put it to dh.

the only Amos I was exposed to when growing up in Germany was Amos Slate, the character in the Fox and the Hound....or Cop and Copper in germany....
I honestly can not recall a Amos in the Bible...however...Matthew is Mathias, etc...so, who knows...
honest go for Noah...it's a gorgeous name imo...if I had 1/2 a chance one of my 3 would have been called Noah!

NO! PLEASE!
or is this a joke?

fairlady, Amos is one of the books of the old testament

with that name he could become a Chippendale.

I quite like it, it's a good word to say out loud. I'd go with Jesse though if you want biblical - assume it's biblical since it's old - goes with you other names as well

ooh not keen, sorry
