I much prefer Levi.

Good luck!!

Lauchlan was my choice if either dd's were a ds, pronounced loch-lan, got to get the ch sound right. :)

I quite like levi. Leon is fine but reminds me of the guy from x factor. Where is he now?

Argh. If you are going for a Scottish name then only if you can pronounce it correctly.

Of the names you have on your short list, I like Leon best.

Lachlan = LAchlan.

Personal bugbear when people pronounce it Lochlan or worse Lock lan or Lack lan

Lachlan is great! Love locky as a nn, had such a crush on locky from "home and away" years ago, o by gosh he was scrummy! Sorry tangent over... Best of luck :)

Lachlan....

But it's LACK LAN and you really need to pronounce correctly unwise it's just a waste of a brilliant name.

Oh dear, I've put a spanner in the works mentioning Leon again haven't I! You'll be more confused than ever...

I think both sound lovely and are great unusual but not too wacky names. Lachlan is currently number 1 in the Australian baby name chart - so, while there won't be millions of them at his nursery, the correct pronounciation may soon become more widely known.

PS - Good luck with the birth Grin

Thanks everyone hopefully we will come to a decision soon it's driving me insane! Baby showing no signs if turning up so at least we have a bit longer to decide!
