Lachlan

I'm just wondering what you all think of the name Lachlan? I'm pretty neutral to it, I have no preference either way... but it's a really common guys name here in Australia, and I haven't seen it on this community much at all so I thought i'd throw it out there

it's pronounced LOCK-lun

I have a good friend named Lachlan, a cousin and both my brothers have friends with the name...so i see what you mean about it being common!
I don't dislike it, but i doubt i would ever use it.

I've never heard it, I live in Texas, and have most of my life.

My godson is a Scottish Lachlan (pronounced LACH-like-loch-with-an-a, not LOCK). I like it but it's a lot less common over here in the UK.

I've never heard it before (I'm American, too, so no surprise). I don't like it. It would remind me of Sarah McLachlan, and I can't stand her music.

I pronounce it lahk-lin, which is different in my head at least (:P) and I like it a lot.

i like it. i probably wouldn't use it as a first name, but a middle name might work. :D

sounds too much like a surname

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

It's okay.

i know what you mean... i know heaps of lachlans and no one in other countries can pronounce it! i think it's a great name (one of my best friends is named lachlan and we call him lachy for short) but i don't think i'd use it myself
