You can hear the two pronunciations here:

I use the second one, the Americans seem to use the first one.

I use the second one too which is why Locklyn and Lachlan sound quite different to me.

That sounds odd to me. I'm English and I would say LOCK-lun but that pronunciation says LACK-lun. I don't come across many people named Lachlan but I've only ever heard it pronounced LOCK-lun. It's fairly common as a surname and as the surname McLachlan / McLoughlin etc and that's the same.

Funny, here in Australia its definately Loch-lin. There is no A sound in the middle.
