What do you think of when you hear Lachlan?

[Bienentrinkwasser]

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

I know it’s a Scottish name. But it’s become so Australian now it doesn’t really feel Scottish any longer- to me, at least. It’s a nice name, though.

Lovely name. The only person I can think of called this is the guy in the wiggles.

I know 3 , actually only one is Lachlan and the other 2 are laughlan. All lovely boys of around 10. It's not a particularly unusual name here in Scotland so just think of the nice lads I know.

The lead character in Upright. We've just binge watched it and I'm a bit obsessed. Fab series.

I love it but agree not unless you are Scottish and can pronounce the ch.

A naughty child at an Australian wildlife park who was going to get eaten by a bird of prey

Lachy. My neighbour. Nice big dude.

A slightly spoilt, feral Australian kid.

Scottish names like Lachlan, Angus and Hamish - all popular in Australia, probably from Scottish immigrants. There are lots of Scottish place names here too, naturally. Before I came here, I hadn’t ever met one of those in England but loads here.

I like it though... Was on our list, but dropped as we didn't think anyone would pronounce it properly where we are.

It makes me think of the Scottish aristocracy, because that's the only person I know of who has that name.

Irish

It’s a bit soap opera isn’t it?

Phlegm. Plus I hear it in an Australian accent but am not sure why.

Strong Scottish name, although I'm never sure if I'm pronouncing it right, Lock-lan or Lack-lan

Lachy from The Wiggles.

It makes me think of Rupert Murdoch unfortunately as I think it’s the name of one of his sons.

Do pronounce it Lock-lan in the SE of England because that is correct for a person from your region.

We all know Paris is correctly pronounced Paree, but you'd sound like a right idiot calling it that if you're British.

Neighbours

Was there a Lachlan in neighbours or is it Craig McLachlan everyone who said neighbours is thinking of?

I would say home and away

@AllRainbowsAndUnicorns the correct "British" pronunciation for Lachlan IS the original pronunciation, Scotland is in Britain.

The name Paris is an ancient Greek name. The pronunciation is correct. The city of Paris' name comes from a different word.

Fake poncy middle class pretending to have Scottish roots name, sorry!

Very popular here in Australia - teenage DD has at least three friends called Lachlan. I think it's lovely (and it's probably less common where you are).

I don't mind it but Angus is better!
