Solomon is fantastic, but I think it would take a certain sort of person to pull it off. It is a strong name to live up to. The people that Solomon suited pulled off the name with a confident and debonair charm. I think the majority of people that I have encountered named Solomon were African-American, but other people could probably use it too.

Lazarus reminds me of leprosy and dead people rising from their tombs. I feel bad, but I sort of associate the name with a miserable life plagued by ill health.

Basically, Solomon makes me think of strong Biblical characters with bold personalities and also of powerful or famous rulers with an aura of almost over the top magnificence.
