Lazer reminds me of the word Laser in English, I think that a child named Lazer might get teased for that.*******

Maybe. I don't think it's that big a deal, though. Word names get used a lot; people get over those, and this isn't even a true word name. I looked it up, and Lazer is actually used a little more in the US than Lazar though less than Eliezer and Lazarus.

Yes, from a personal observation, Lazar is indeed very rare in the English-speaking world

It's not common, but I'd say it's somewhat familiar. I've met one anyway, and Lazer is in a popular old movie. If you combine Lazarus, Eliezer, and Lazaro, they'd rank somewhere around the 500s in the US popularity charts. Though I don't know about the UK.
