Lake sounds unisex as far as I'm concerned; I'd err slightly towards using it on a male. It's not bad; I would use it before I used Laken. I'd feel a bit unlike myself, addressing my own child as
Lake, so it's not my style.
Lake is just a modern wordname with a nice image to me; Laken to me is weird nonsense like
Jaden, although not so weird I couldn't get used to it.
Lakelyn sounds to me like an alteration of
Lachlan, but I guess it doesn't have to be. I like
Lachlan too.
