Also anyone have ideas for strong masculine names with a soft sound?

e.g.

Noah
Heath
Seth
Riley
Islay (really wish this could be pronounced EYELAY) know any boy names ending in LAY?

The 'ch' in Lachlan is pronounced like a German 'ch' (as in 'Bach').

How about Aulay?

I pronounce it 'LOCH-lan' with the loch part sounding like... well loch really (as in the Scottish word for lake).
So if you don't have a Scottish accent it would probably sound like 'LOCK-lan' I reckon.

I pronounce it 'LOCH-lunn'

How about Aulay? That's Scottish too.

Also...

I pronounce it the same, like LOCK-lunn. Great name! I also really like Declan (DECK-lunn)

Aulay is a great suggestion!

I would pronounce the ach- part almost like the German ach (not like K). It's kind of a glottal stop.

Also, how is Islay pronounced? I really like the look of it but have no idea how to pronounce it.

apparently the correct way to pronounce is like Isla EYE-LA (which I love as a girls name) but I really think Islay should be pronounced ''EYE-LAY''

Islay is definitely pronounced EYE-la, like the actual island is.

Nope. Islay is pronounced EYE-la too, believe me (or look it up ;) ).

I think...?

It might be pronounced LAC-lan.

A name ending in 'lay' that I know of is Finlay.

I also think Niall (pronounced ny-all) might fit the vibe you are going for with those names
