    I absolutely love Echo for a girl, but I really don't think it's that practical/suitable for a name, but if I heard this on a girl, I would actually think it's cute, but would depend on the girl.

    Azrael is ok. Wouldn't think twice about hearing this on a human.

    Balthazar is ok, would set my mind ticking if I heard this on a human as a first name. I've heard it used as a middle name as it was a family name, which I liked, but as a first name, all I can think of is the demon "Cole aka Balthazar" from that TV show "Charmed".

    Lazarus isn't that bad, very uncommon, but it wouldn't actually worry me if I heard this as a first name.

    Lilith is a lovely name, I would/do find this a pretty name.

    Azrael - I actually like this name. It's different and really interesting. I might even use it for my own kid, when I have one. I'd commend the parent's for making a unique and beautiful choice.

    Balthazar - It's a bit strong for me, I would probably only use it as a middle name rather than a first or the kid might get teased a bit. Very masculine choice.

    Lazarus - I do like this one as well, though I would be worried about the kid being picked on again. It's an unusual and distinctive choice though. I'd probably make it a middle name, then if they want they could choose to use it as a first.

    Lilith - I think this is a beautiful, feminine and daring name. I can imagine a beautiful and intelligent girl/woman having this name. I think people should break it from it's negative history and make it fresh and new.

    Echo - I'd probably only use this as a middle name. I think it's actually getting to be quite popular in some places. I do like it and I would never judge the parents who named their child this but I wouldn't name my kid Echo. It's too... try hard?

    i LOVE Echo but hubby forbade me to use it (So we went with Elowyn instead). Lilith is a pretty name but i wouldnt use it because of its negative history. a;so i already have a daughter named Lilia and that would be to close. Lazarus is a weird biblical name that just doesnt fit well in todays society. Balthazar is a gp name of mine *Shakespeare buff* but i am forbidden to use that one either because "its just to weird honey!" Azreal, hmm never heard this name before, i suppose it could work, perhaps as a middle name.

    My ex-roommate named her sun Azrael so thats the only one I can speak for, I mean atfirst many names seem tacky, but once you hear it three or twenty times it starts to grow... Or not... So I think it worked quite nicely, sounded pretty nice, it had a good ring to it, shes ”country gal” sounds way cooler in a southern accent

    Source(s): Also I like Echo, not the others so much, Lilith can be workable tho.

    I think Azreal is different and sounds very pretty. Lilith is actually one of my favorite girl names. I think it is beautiful. The others are a little too eccentric for my tastes.

    I actually really love most of those names XD they're unique, and sound almost like the name of a cool character from a book or something (that's a good thing)
