What's included in the Lochlan worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital L + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #644; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Lochlan sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “L” on, most of its 7 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. The tall letters “h” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Lochlan was the #644 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Lochlan tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Lochlan, in the order they are written:

L — One big line down, then turn the corner and draw a bar along the bottom without lifting the pencil. Capital L turns a corner; lowercase l is the simplest letter in the alphabet — a single tall stick with nothing added.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
c — The same single open curve as the capital, drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Lochlan: “L”, “h” and “l” reach the top guide line, three tall letters out of 7. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Lochlan an even, tidy silhouette.

At seven letters, Lochlan is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 336 of the 965 boys' names.

Lochlan was the #644 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Lochlan

At 7 letters, Lochlan is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Give Lochlan its height song: “tall, small, small, tall, tall, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Finish each session with one try writing Lochlan on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Lochlan solid and dark.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. At 7 letters, Lochlan is happiest on medium or small lines — the large size is better saved for warming up on one letter at a time.

Number of practice lines

The sheet holds 1 to 12 practice lines under the example row. Start low — three or four lines is plenty for a first session — and add more as sessions get longer.
