What do you think of when you hear Lachlan?

[Bienentrinkwasser]

Husband loves it, I’m just trying to get a feel for it.

Love it! But I'm Scottish. And it should definitely be Lach-lan not Lock-lan. I think if you live somewhere where it won't be pronounced that way then I wouldn't bother.

I wouldn’t use it if I couldn’t pronounce it properly.
Lauch-lan not Lock-lan.

As long as you pronounce it properly, Lachlan not Locklin. It's not pronounced like Loch or Lock.

I've got a long line of Lachlan's in my family and think its hideous that people have butchered this name to start with Lo never mind the hideous ch pronunciation

Scottish gaelic pronouciation here. NB the stress on the first syllable - and, as others have said, the 'ch':

Lachlan Murdoch. Sorry.

Nice name

Would have to pronounce with a hard ‘ck’ sound as would make it impossible for everyone else otherwise and possibly seem a bit pretentious if we kept correcting people!

Yeah don't use a name and pronounce it incorrectly to appease others. I think you either use the name properly or not at all.

A strapping great Aussie name

And this is why I think we’ll go for Angus...

Angus is nice. Fergus? Fraser? Hamish? Calum?

The nutter on emmerdale

It's not one i'd choose myself but it doesn't shock me and it's quite common in scotland.

Australian or Scottish

I know it's Scottish but I always associate it with Australians.

I like Angus better.

Boy in my son's year had this name. His mother was Australian, so assumed it was more usual there. He was generally called "Lockland", so you might need to be prepared for unusual pronunciations of the name!

Australian now, more than Scottish.

I love it. It's a lovely word to say.
I think of Scotland.

The character in Home and Away over 20 years ago!

My sisters nephew with a wee Glaswegian accent - he’s adorable and then some

Very very popular in Australia. I like it.

I love it

Love it. I know two, both known as Lockie.

A wee boy wi dirty knees playing with his collie pup outside a Croft in the highlands. It is a raw scottish name for a strapping lad. A bitty twee if you aren't pronouncing properly however if that's the name you like go for it.(just call him something different when visiting home)!!

Character from neighbours

Australian now, more than Scottish.

What do you mean? It's a Scottish name. That doesn't change
