Opinions on the name Loch?

[KeyboardMouse]

What are your thoughts?

[gingerboy1912]

Lachlan yes but not loch

[TondelayaDellaVentamiglia]

did you really mean Josh-U-Ahhhh?

Loch is surely not a real name?

[badg3r]

Josh is a million times better. But maybe you'd like Loki too?

[GinIsIn]

Erm... Is it not a bit like calling your baby Canal?!

[Pipilangstrumpf]

How will English speakers pronounce Loch (hole)? It will probably sound like lock..!

[Pemba]

Sorry, but that's not a name, it's a landscape feature! Will be hard for people to pronounce too.

L

[Only1scoop]

Awfu

[Icapturethecast1e]

if your not too sure about it & would prefer josh could u not just use loch as a nickname.

[celtiethree]

Lochlann yes Loch no

[PotatoBread]

I'd assume Loch was a nn for Lochlan. It doesn't sound like a proper name.

[timelytess]

Loch as a name?
It's a bit wet.

[inabizzlefam]

Unless his surname is Lomond or Ness then it should be fine.
No weirder than some of the names you hear at school. One family I see there are all K....Kian, Kieran, Ki, Kara and Kody.
Loch is mediocre in comparrison.

[purplefox]

Lochlan/Lachlan yes
Loch no

[expatinscotland]

Just don't.

[ayeokthen]

Lochlan is Irish, Lachlan is Scottish. Loch is just a bit odd to be honest, sorry.

[Glitterkitten24]

I was just going to say the same user

I'm Scottish, and anecdotally non scots tend to say 'Lock' rather than loch.

I'm not sure I'm a fan regardless of pronunciation though, sorry.

[MulberryBush12]

Josh is a much better choice

[MrsDc7]

Josh is lovely xx

[SwearyInn]

Is that the diminutive of Lochia?

[user1471552005]

How would you pronounce it? In my experience it's a word many English people struggle to pronounce .The "CH " sound is not normally found in spoken English.

[KeyboardMouse]

He'll be a Josh then, as that's the other name on our list!
