Lachlan

Hmm, I'm noncommittal. Lochlann looks less Anglicized to me (more foreign-language), although I suppose that's just because of my greater familiarity with Lachlan. Weirdly, I think of the 'loch' part as Scottish and the -lan with one N as Irish.. but that's backwards.

Lochlann is more butch and traditional looking to me than Lachlan. I think I like it better for that reason. But Lachlan looks more intuitive for an English speaker, and less noticeably foreign-language (that is, where I live, far from the UK), so I like it better for that reason.

i prefer Lachlan...

Lachlan. I'm more familiar with that spelling.

Lachlan

Tough choice . . .

I like Lachlan, but I think I like the 'o' spelling better, in Lochlann. But the double-n ending seems redundant to me. So I guess Lochlan is my favourite spelling. :-)
