We thought we had a name picked but now have changed our minds. We like these names as they’re a bit more unusual, which is your favourite?

Daegan
Lochlan
Judah
Moses

We absolutely adore Moses but worry it’s a bit too out there. We aren’t bothered about how religious it sounds, as there’s plenty of Noah’s about and years ago that would’ve seemed a bit out there.

Laughlin or Lachlan, Lochlan isn’t a spelling of the name.

Lochlan, although I would spell it Lachlan. I don’t mind ‘religious’ names but neither Moses nor Judah do it for me. Never heard of Daegan and I must have met thousands of children now in a professional capacity, so if you want unusual go for that one.

Wouldn't Lochlan be spelled Lachlan?

Moses is lovely.

Judah is too susceptible to being confused with or misread as Judas.

Moses and Lochlan are the most mainstream,

You’re worried that Mosses sounds too religious, but have suggested Judah as an alternative Confused?

Go for it with Moses.
