"Ó Lochlainn"(O LUC-LAN) meaning "descendant of the/a viking."
But if you're an unmarried female you'd use "Ní Lochlainn", an irish form of "Miss".

Gaibh mo leithscéal, a Laighnigh, ach nach dóigh leat go mbeadh Nic Lochlainn níos cruinne?

'Sea fuaimíonn sé sin níos cruinne a Shéamais.
Séamus is right Rachel, it's actually "Nic Lochlainn" for an unmarried female.
