I love the name Lochlan. We named our youngest son Lochlan because we wanted a traditional Irish name and it suits him well since he has the red in his hair.
While I was pregnant with our 2nd son, we chose the name Lochlan because we fell in love with the name. When he was born, he ended up with red, curly hair! The name suits him perfectly!
My Great Grandfather’s name was Lochlan Bell. He had light brownish, red hair that was probably light when he was born. My family is very proud of their ancestry:)
