Lapis is a horrible thing to do to a child. The "piss" in it is super teaseworthy :(

I like Lazuli better. Lapis just sound kind of weird as a name.

I think this is a lovely name, but the "piss" sound in the final syllable might lend to some teasing potential, which is a shame. It is also close to the the French word, 'Lapin,' meaning "Rabbit," which is a less tease-worthy equivalent if you like the sound of Lapis.
If you want to name your daughter after this beautiful gemstone without some possible repercussions, then perhaps you'd rather use Lazuli.

Lazuli is way better. I don't like the name Lapis because of the "piss" part.
