HelpLaser
So I watched this movie yesterday (The Kids are All Right, Oscar nominated) and their son is named Laser. I thought that was pretty weird at first but also kind of fun. His sister's name is Joni. WDYT? Would it work on a real person or should it stay a GP?

plus laser surgery, laser tag, laser scopes, laser pointers, laser printers, laser light show....I just don't think this is a word that works equally well as a name. Definitely GP material, imo.
I do like Joni, and that kind of surprises me. I usually dislike such nicknamey names, particularly those that end in i, but Joni is cute and doesn't seem hopelessly infantile.

Makes me think of the scene from Dodgeball where the "bad guy" is introducing his team and their names are Blade, Laser and Blazer.
(also, Lasers, obviously!)
I definitely don't think it's useable in real life.

Is his name pronounced like Laser? Because I know a Lazar and it's LAH-zar.

Yes
in the musical, it's pronounced like Laser. It's a fairly typical Yiddish pronunciation.

Never use Beam as a middle name.
It's GP material only.

Laser on a real person seems like a really bad idea to me. Some words make good names because of there meanings but Laser doesn't seem like something I'd want to be named after.
If I remember correctly, she was named Joni after Joni Mitchell. Joni isn't bad but perhaps more of a nickname than a full name.
