How to pronounce Laughlin?

"Lochlin" is the correct and ONLY pronunciation of this name! We Scots and the Irish have the "och" in our language which makes us able to pronounce this Scots/Irish name correctly! Most Americans and English don't and therefore pronounce it wrongly!

Laughlin is pronounced as: Phonetic Spelling:[ L AA F - l ih n ]

L	AA	F	-	l	ih	n
let	car	fan		let	it	no

This is the pronounciation for the name in Suffolk which is the predominant county for the name in England

Lock-lin

Laughlin is pronounced as: Phonetic Spelling:[ l aw f - l uh n ]

l	aw	f	-	l	uh	n
let	law	fan		let	up	no

It is my opinion that in the U.S., most Laughlins in the east pronounce it Lock-lynn. As you travel to the Midwest and further west, it is usually pronounced Lauf-Lynn.

I am a Laughlin and my family has always pronounced it with the "ck" sound in the middle. I believe this is as the Irish and Scots originally pronounced the various spellings of the name.

L (as in leg) o(as in frog) ck (as in duck)l (as in leg) i (as in fossil) n (as in net)

LAWF-lynn
The first syllable is like "loft" without the "t."
The second is like the common female name, and rhymes with "pin."
This is the preferred pronunciation of most Americans with this name, including the founder of the city of Laughlin, Nevada.

Quite simply, laugh-lin
