Spelling of potential name

[willow]

I have narrowed down my list for potential names for baby boy to about 4. All except one have only one main spelling. The other, Lachlan, has two that I'm considering. According to behind the name, Lachlan is the Scottish spelling and Lochlann is the Irish spelling. I've really only seen Lachlan before. I'm leaning toward using that spelling if I go with the name, though Lochlann looks more phonetic to me so I think that is what is tripping me up. We aren't Scottish at all but we are Irish, though that isn't so important to me. Thoughts?

I've only ever seen Lachlan, I much prefer that to Lochlann.

I would trust BTN on this. Depending on what the other names on your list are, though, I'd be inclined to cut this one anyway. Suggesting Lorcan.

I think if you are in the US, Lachlan seems more familiar.

I would go with Lachlan. That's the only way I've seen it and would be my first instinct on how to spell it.

Lachlan, no question.

All of this.

I would go with Lachlan over Lochlann.

Delayed response but thank you for all the input, and helping confirm for me that Lachlan is the better spelling if I go with that!
