Lachlan or Sullivan

[DNA3434]

Nn Lockie or Sully

Lachlan, great name!

I like both.

Lachlan. But why shorten such a good name?

Lochan is better than Lachlan. Sullivan is a surname.

Oh I love both! Can’t go wrong with either

Nope

and nope

Lachlan for sure!

I really dislike them both. Lachlan sounds like someone bringing up phlegm.

It would make my ears bleed to hear an English person (mis) pronounce Lachlan.

I have never ever ever heard it pronounced to rhyme with Loch and I went to school with many Lachlans and Lachies. I can only make it rhyme the German sprach , if that helps at all...

Lachlan is very scottish and the shortening is Lachie. I have a Lachlan (and had a Great uncle Lachlan) and his name has never been shortened - it isn’t obligatory.

i have never understood why Australians spell the name that way, but pronounce it Lochlan and then shorten it to Lockie. Makes no sense.

I feel like I’m having a flashback @DNA3434 - if you search MN you’ll see I posted EXACTLY the same OP way back in 2014 when I was pregnant with baby #2!
My baby Sullivan is now 11 1/2 and loves his name (although griped about it when he was 4 because it had too many letters when he was learning to write and his fingers would get tired…)
I do still love Lachlan but husband much preferred Sullivan.

Lachlan

Sullivan makes me think of sullen so I prefer Lachlan.

I like Lachlan not keen on Sullivan

Lachlan

I like Lachlan nn Lockie, makes me think of a rather hot guy from an Australian reality tv show 🤣

While I don't mind Sullivan, I think Lachlan nn Lockie is a great name.

Lachlan

I know a Scottish Lachlan, who is called either the full name or Lachie, pronounced “Lacky”. It suits him.

Sullivan is a surname

Really like Lachlan. Not keen on nm Sully

I really like them both!

Although I do think of the character from Monsters Inc.when I hear Sullivan so I prefer Lachlan.

There was a character in the most recent series of White Lotus called Lachlan (pronounced, how I as a born and bred English person would say, Lock-Luhn) he was a very rich American, his brother was called Saxon.

Lachlan - nice Scottish name

Sullivan sounds like a character in neighbours / substitute trashy reference of your choosing.
