I like all of your choices, they're the sort of names I like.

If you like Lachlan, how about Logan? Or Brogan?

If you like Max, how about Zack?

I love the name Max and think it goes well with your surname. I'm afraid I really don't like any of you other choices though, they're just not to my taste.

My friends nickname their babies Lochie for a baby if that helps?

MyNameIsSuz · 10/08/2015 14:51

I really like Lachlan. If you like Flynn but want something a bit longer what about something like Franklin or Finlay?

sweetpeame · 10/08/2015 14:33

kcooper26 I'm sorry you feel my comment was harsh but you did ask for opinions. I was positive/neutral about your other three names so I think that's balanced. I understand your DS may be called Flynn but that doesn't mean everyone will like it. In any case you have had lots of positive feedback on it as well. Ultimately it's just an opinion and it's you who needs to be happy with the name (and your partner also). Good luck!

I find boys names really hard to choose. I'm preg with dc2 and don't know what I'll call him if it's another boy!

I suppose he will. Its growing on me more now. Most of the names u have mentioned have either been used by close friends or im not keen on them. X

Finlay

Fugghetaboutit · 10/08/2015 13:39

He'll be a baby for a short time in his life though :)

How about:

Arthur
Theo
Aidan
Gregory
Callum
Cassius
Sonny
Jonah
Joshua
Ethan

Yes true. I just dont no if Lochlan suits a baby. Thats the only thing. X

Flynn is a nice name but personally I agree with other posters that Lachlan Kane flows better as a whole name.

Fugghetaboutit · 10/08/2015 13:08

I think a longer 2 syllable name would sound better with your short one syllable surname.

Thanks ladypug i do prefer the Lochlan spelling & would save me having to correct the way you pronounce it i think. X

Hi K,

I know two Lachlans - one spelled Lachlan (Scottish) and one spelled Lochlan (Irish) I like the name and like Flynn too!

Sweetpea thanks for your opinions but a little harsh considering one of these names are probably what ill call my child if its a boy. I happen to really like Flynn & font think its too "try hard" atall. Anyway i agree with the others Flynn probably goes best and is my fave out of the 3 names so cutting max & blake out im now left with Flynn or Lachlan.
But can someone tell me does Lachlan need to be spelt this way as i think it would confuse alot of people since its actually pronounced "locklin" so could it be spelt Lochlan or what?

Max is the only one that sounds all right with Kane. Maxwell or Maximilian would be better as a full name, they sound very elegant with Kane.

mrsb83 · 10/08/2015 11:51

I love the name Flynn!
Flynn Kane I think works better than max Kane but both a good choices. X

sweetpeame · 10/08/2015 08:33

Max is the best of your list although possibly the most popular currently if that's a consideration for you. I'm not adverse to Blake although generally I strongly dislike surnames as first names. It doesn't sound that great with your surname though. Flynn as a first name is absolutely awful. It's a common, quite boring Irish surname and I cannot understand for the life of me how it suddenly got trendy as a first name! Horrible. Much too "try hard" and will be dated in about 5 minutes time. Lachlan is fine.
