Which one from our shortlist?

[IAintWroteNoPoetry]

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.

Go for it with Moses.

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

Moses and Lochlan are the most mainstream,

Moses is lovely.

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

Wouldn't Lochlan be spelled Lachlan?

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.

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

@BikeRunSki Well Jude is getting very popular, and he’d most likely have it shortened to Jude, so people wouldn’t make the same connection with that as they would with Moses.

I do like the Lachlan spelling, but a lot of people I know pronounce it ‘Lack-lan’ then, rather than ‘Lock-Lan’.

I know two Moses , one mid 30s , one 70ish , related to each other , it's quite common as are most biblical names in certain ethnic backgrounds
Know a lovely Lochlan late 20s - 1/2 Irish

Lachlan- spelled that way. I wouldn’t consider the others.

Will moses be sleeping in a moses basket?! Not my cup of tea, but then it's not my child

I like Moses! Lachlan is also very nice but not spelt Lochlan. I don’t like the others.

There was baby Moses in emmerdale
Also an evil killer called Lachlan.

I prefer Lachlan but agree with you the spelling is confusing.

Don’t like Judah- too close to Judas.

Dislike Daegan. Sorry.

Moses is ok but not liking any much. My son had an uncommon biblical name and I’m amazed how most people have no idea of the reference, but Judah sounds like you are a member of a strict Christian community. Jude is better but queue a lot of ‘Hey Jude’...

Has not had.

I'm not one for unusual names but I really like Moses!

It’s so bloody hard naming a baby!. We both definitely prefer Moses to anything else, we were just worried it was too ‘out there’z

Please don't use Lachlan if you can't pronounce it properly!

You're worried about Moses being 'out there' but not Daegan. At least I've heard of Moses.

Just choose Moses if you like it the best. People have heard of it, can pronounce it, and it doesn't have bad connotations. Mo is a cute nn.

I’m with @tiddlyipom don’t use a name you can’t pronounce or spell, Lochlan isn’t a name, the correct spellings have been given and it’s a Scottish name with no harsh ck sound hence the ch; loch not lock.
I’ll guess you’re not Scottish 🙄

I’ll go with Moses then

Moses is not really “out there”.0

Daegan - no, makes me think of dagging a sheep
Lochlan - no
Judah - is that a place name? It’s bearable.
Moses - ok

I know a Lauchlan spelt this way. Also called lockey. I agree with pp, judah sounds like judas and das is nicht gut.
