Nope, but I love his name too. I wanted something unique...and there were some other factors. My dad's name was Leonard, and I wanted to name in honor of him. And an old boyfriend had picked the name Laszlo and I just hung onto it because I loved it. Then when I was finally pregnant after years of infertility stuff, and I found out I was having a boy (and had already picked his name) I looked up its meaning. Laszlo means "God has helped." That clinched it. :-)
A beautiful woman in The Gap today stopped me and asked if we were Hungarian, because she is and Laszlo is a *very* common Hungarian name. My grandmother was Hungarian, but that's not why I used the name.

In any case, it suits him.
