Have always thought it handsome; have seen it in birth announcements but never met one.

I love everything about this name.

I remember loving it when I was younger, I don't anymore but I still like it. I could see it jumping up the charts and becoming obnoxiously trendy within the next few years though.

I love the name, but it's pretty far down on the list so I don't think I'll ever use it. I used to want to have twin boys named Leland and Lachlan. I've since grown out of the "name your twins names that start with the same letter" phase.

I love this name. Great choice in my opinion.

It's OK but I don't really care for it.

wooohooo!! Love it. It is my third son's name and it's one that I love more every time I say it and see it. :) It's so strong and outdoorsy and yet still somehow warm. "Land of the lakes"? Pretty sweet meaning, I think.

For nicknames, we use Lach, Lachey, Lachley, and Lachers.

Our Lachlan is Lachlan MacKinley. We also talked about Lachlan Grey for a while. I still love that, but people around here said it sounded like a paint colour. :(
